To streamline your learning process, we dovetail the didactic with the practical. What you learn in the lectures is what you use in the clinics. As amazing as it sounds, if you work hard, you actually can help your supervisor to take a history, perform a pertinent physical examination, provide diagnostic information, and implement therapy. And you can do it all in Spanish.
If you are like most of our participants, you are thirsty for a top-notch, personal experience abroad. You want to get your feet wet with a different language and a different culture. And you want to find out what it is like to be really good at participating in something great.
Mayan Medical Aid's program in Guatemala is perfect for people of all persuasions. It gives you an exciting, hands-on experience. It keeps you on your toes as you learn what it is like to be on the front lines of the war on inequality. You are riveted by solving one complex problem after the next. You help to provide health care to people who have extreme need. And ultimately, you become a different and better person.
For our participants, this experience is not just a life-changing event. It is their most important life-changing event - the event from which they never can go back. It is the transition that starts you down the road to becoming an empathetic and caring citizen of this rapidly shrinking world.
Mayan Medical Aid teaches three things well: Spanish, Global Concern, and Cultural Sensitivity – all in one fell swoop. The instruction in language, global understanding, and culture is genuine. It teaches you what people really are telling you, what practitioners actually do, and what people from other cultures expect from life and living.
When faced with solving problems, you learn how to ask culturally acceptable questions, how to interpret the answers in context, and how to evaluate the whole person and their needs. What's best is you do all of these things in a fully supervised and dynamic environment.
