I need to learn medical Spanish for my job

IHCAI Institute offers a new alternative to learn medical Spanish online through its virtual platform. It is a high-quality and reasonable-cost alternative, with high-profile native Spanish speakers instructors and innovative materials.

IHCAI Institute has 20 years of experience teaching medical Spanish for medical students and other health professionals. We have conducted over 100 successful sessions with student groups at our headquarters in Costa Rica and trained a thousand students.

In 2017, we formally started using our virtual classroom for continuing education for Central American physicians in the field of evidence-based medicine.

Now, with all this successful experience, we launched the online medical Spanish course for all health professionals around the world.

We have chosen 5 as the magic number since they are the fingers of the hand with which we learned to write. We invite you to read the details of this distance learning option in the P10GMF program prospectus.

A successful conclusion of the January-February 2020 session of the medical Spanish course, clinical rotation & MSU Spring Break

With large participation of students from:

• Boston University School of Medicine - US
• Vanderbilt University School of Medicine - US
• The Ohio State University College of Medicine - US
• University of Central Florida College of Medicine - US
• King's College London - UK
• Arcadia University – US
• University of Otago - New Zealand
• Harvard Medical School - US

IHCAI Institute successfully managed each of its programs for international medical and PA students and achieved an enriching academic, professional and personal experience. 

On behalf of the entire IHCAI team, we want to thank everyone for their trust, effort, and enthusiasm. 

It is very gratifying to see how students can advance in a few weeks in the mastery of medical Spanish that will later be useful in their clinical work with patients, to recognize the Costa Rican health system working in EBAIS and in hospitals, as well as to know better the country's culture through their experience of integrating into a local family.

In addition, with great joy, we can report that we were able to retake the Spring Break that we traditionally held with MSU with a total participation of 19 students. 

After a long work with Jonelle K. Golding -Director of Graduate Curriculum Integration and Global Health Experiences, College of Human Medicine- we were able to renew the course program that had as its central theme: "Broadening Perspectives on Healthcare in Costa Rica". 

As part of the objectives, we worked hard with ANASOVI and managed to give a vital contribution to this patient organization in Costa Rica.

All this happened in just 9 weeks of hard work, many satisfactions and unforgettable experiences. 

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic and completely paralyzed our programs with international students. All this has forced us to make an extraordinary effort to renew and adapt in record time. The entire IHCAI team works on that, but of course, we remain hopeful that we will welcome new, sensitive and hard-working students from all over the world. We take this opportunity to send a message of support to all our students from the past who are currently at the forefront of the fight against the virus. Take care all and remember fondly!
