Spanish for a Medical Caravan

The main purpose of the course is to deepen language skills while exploring health-related topics in Latin America. The first part of the semester will focus on learning about a country (Ecuador or Colombia): its health system, main diseases, health disparities etc. Students will research the characteristics of the area as well we later visit. During Spring break, we will travel to one country and participate in some medical caravans. Upon returning from the trip, students will conduct in-depth research to present their findings to the class and subsequently produce a final paper.
