Abroadia is pleased to offer two summer program options for students in what is considered by many to be one of the hidden gems in South America: the beautiful city of Montevideo.
Spanish for Students in the Health Profession
June 1-28, 2026
This program offers students the opportunity to enhance their Spanish skills, learn medical Spanish vocabulary, and shadow doctors alongside Uruguayan medical students. In the spirit of true immersion, this program will challenge many students, but provide them with a unique experience that will propel their professional careers in ways that a similar experience in the U.S. cannot.
Outcomes
Students will improve their Spanish and learn medical vocabulary in that language
Students will receive a certificate of completion for their Spanish program and the medical shadowing
Students will develop and grow a network of contacts in Uruguay and Latin America.
Upon request, students can receive a university transcript for their work performed in Montevideo
Students will gain invaluable experience that will allow them to thrive in bilingual or bicultural situations
Program cost: $5,630 (includes tuition, shadowing program, home-stay housing + daily breakfast and dinner, and on-site support)
Through this program, students will learn or improve their Spanish through classes, their homestay accommodations, and interactions with Uruguayans on the street. Small classes provide an intimacy and comfort level for students and allow the instructors to give any additional assistance to individuals where needed.
Outcomes:
Students will augment their Spanish vocabulary and increase their confidence in speaking
Students will make friendships with Uruguayans and other international students
Program cost: $3,260 (includes tuition, homestay accommodations + daily breakfast and dinner, and on-site support)
