The Medical Spanish Program at the Manta Spanish School includes a
combination of medical Spanish classes (20 hours per week / 4 hours per
day from Monday to Friday, Spanish lessons focused on medical terms)
and rotations at the local military hospital in Manta (morning sessions
from 8 am to 12m).
The classes involve a basic review of all grammar and Spanish
conversational skills. These skills are honed in a medical Spanish context
so vocabulary is learned at the same time. At the local hospital, it is up to
the intern to make the most of the experience. The intern can spend time
rotating between specialties such as general medicine, pediatrics,
dermatology, orthopedics, gynecology and opthalmology. It is possible to
observe consultations as well as speciality surgeries. The staff at the
hospital is more than willing to teach, but the intern has to make the
effort to ask the questions.
