What it's like to Work in a Medical Clinic in Peru!

We recently sent two girls, Kelly and Kari, to Cusco, Peru, to intern in a medical clinic. The girls were both hoping to learn Spanish, gain some medical skills and learn more about the healthcare system in Peru.

Kelly Field described her experience by saying: "This is how I felt on the entire trip! Free, happy, and ready to start my new career as Physician Assistant. Machu Picchu was amazing!"

Kari also describer what she loved most about the program: "I really enjoyed working in the clinic and interacting with patients from the rural Peruvian villages. I loved getting to hear them speak their native language and feeling that my presence made a difference in their medical treatment."

Check back later for more photos from their internship in the medical clinic!

Get a jump start on your foreign language!

We all know the best way to learn another language is to immerse yourself in the country that speaks that language! AIDE can arrange opportunities for you to travel abroad and take 1 week to a few months of language classes, to truly become fluent. Not only will you learn the colloquialisms of the country you are in, but you will learn vocabulary that isn't taught in a textbook.

Are you excited yet? Ready to start practicing?

There is an excellent tool that help you prepare for your trip by starting to train you ear to the accent of the specific country you choose. (Remember, the accent in Argentina is very different than Mexico or Spain)!

Check out glovico.org for more details. Basically you have live lessons over skype with a native speaker of the country of your choice! Through these conversations you can get a jump start on your foreign language skills.

As always, you can write to us with any questions you may have!
