IES Abroad Santiago: Summer Health Studies

I loved my time in Santiago. I was there for two months in summer of 2025 and I participated in the health studies program with IES. I think this program did a great job connecting the clinical observations through UC Christus with the content and terminology we were learning in our Spanish for healthcare practitioners class. This program also included fun field trips to the nearby cities of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar as well as activities such as snowshoe trekking. I also had the opportunity to do some independent travel to the Atacama desert (however it is really chilly in the winter which is when I went) as well as Argentina and Uruguay. If this is something you are interested in I think this program really gives you the opportunity to do that.
