This highly effective Medical and Dental Spanish Program provides an
experience that combines the best of four worlds:

• cultural immersion

• high-quality didactic teaching

• clinical opportunity, and

• Spanish language instruction

The base of operations is Santa Cruz La Laguna, Guatemala, a village of
approximately 2,000 indigenous and poverty-stricken inhabitants on the
North shore of the magnificently beautiful Lake Atitlán.

The daily schedule allows time for didactic teaching, clinical practice,
and medical and dental health promotion in and outside of the Clinic.
