Program Overview

Program Description:

The program consists of one course, Health Studies: Clinical Observation and the Cultural Aspects of Health Care in Chile, divided into two components: Clinical Observation and Intensive Spanish for Beginners. The primary component, Clinical Observation, allows you to observe patient care in public and private clinics. A classroom seminar provides a framework for clinical observations and analyzes themes such as efficiency, equity, and the quality of service delivery to patients. Intensive Spanish for Beginners is designed to help you develop Spanish language skills focusing on medical terminology.

We offer unique courses that explore Health Studies and other topics through an in-depth and hands-on approach. Our world-class professors enhance your academic experience and provide you with new perspectives both in and out of class. You will take 1 course, divided in two parts, for a total of 3 credits.
