Faculty Visits & Academic Partnerships

We welcome faculty members from healthcare training programs to visit our medical Spanish immersion program in Peru.

These visits provide an opportunity to observe our teaching approach, see community-based learning in action, and explore how the program could support your students or residents.

Flexible Duration

Visits can usually be arranged over a few days, depending on your schedule and goals.

Local Support

We can assist with logistics, orientation, and the arrangement of a structured visit.

No Obligation

A visit is simply an opportunity to understand the program more fully and consider whether it may suit your institution.

Who This Is For

Faculty visits are particularly relevant for:

  • Physician Assistant (PA) program faculty
  • Residency program directors and coordinators
  • Medical school faculty with global health interests
  • Educators involved in medical Spanish or clinical communication training

Why Faculty Visit

Faculty typically visit to:

  • observe the program before sending participants
  • review how medical Spanish is taught in practice
  • understand the structure and supervision provided
  • explore whether the experience aligns with their curriculum

What You Can Observe During a Visit

  • Medical Spanish teaching sessions
  • Small-group language instruction
  • Course structure and learning materials
  • Meetings with teaching staff and coordinators

  • Community health fairs
  • Real patient communication in supervised settings
  • The wider immersion environment in Trujillo
  • How the program supports clinical communication development

From Faculty Visit to Ongoing Partnership

Faculty visits often serve as a first step toward a broader academic relationship.

This may include:

  • sending students or residents on a recurring basis
  • integrating the program into elective pathways
  • exploring medical Spanish training as part of a wider curriculum

We most commonly host faculty from Physician Assistant programs who are exploring structured medical Spanish opportunities for their students.

Experience You Can Trust

Since 2011, we have worked with healthcare students, residents, and professionals in Peru through structured medical Spanish immersion and supervised clinical experiences.
