Health Care in Mexico - Guadalajara

HEALTH CARE IN MEXICO

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

Health Care in Mexico (HCiM) offers qualified undergraduates a unique opportunity to gain first hand experience in health-care training, while being immersed in Mexican culture. Located in Guadalajara, students interact with medical professionals as well as University of Guadalajara medical students. This rigorous program pushes students to develop knowledge in practical health care as well as Mexican culture and the Spanish language.

The program’s nine weeks break into two components:

Component 1: Spanish Language and Mexican History/Culture
Five Weeks. Various levels of Spanish available. Successful completion of the two courses allows students to transfer 6-hours of academic credit to UT.

Component 2: Hospital Rotation in a teaching hospital (CUCS)
Four Weeks. Students spend 4 hours a day interacting with medical students as well as health care professionals; however, they do not diagnose or treat patients, nor perform invasive procedures. Students also meet weekly with a medical professional to learn proper protocol and become familiar with Spanish medical terminology. Successful completion allows students to transfer 3-hours of academic credit to UT.
