Students’ testimonials

”Interning at Hospital Principe de Asturias was a very valuable experience. I learned so much by shadowing at the hospital. It was really valuable to learn about neurology and to also learn the words in both Spanish and English. I would definitely recommend this program. I found the internship experience very valuable. I think I had enough Spanish to be able to complete a science internship but that speaking some Spanish should definitely be a requirement. I could not have understood the hospital environment if I had not already spoken a decent amount of Spanish.” —  Kate Gladhart-Hayes
