Services Provided
This organization strives to enhance our members' ability to engage effectively with Spanish-speaking populations in medical settings. Considering the significant (and increasing) number of Spanish speakers in the United States, we believe that equipping future osteopathic physicians with strong Spanish language skills will improve community health by providing better service to these underserved populations.
Tentative Schedule for 2024-2025
As an organization, we meet 6-8 times each semester to host guest speakers and engage in various group activities, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities. During these meetings, we focus on developing conversation and clinical skills, and we discuss relevant programs and opportunities available to us as medical students interested in furthering our Spanish studies.
