This morning, in the Francisco Javier Balmis Building on the UMH San Juan Campus, diplomas were conferred to University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) student participants in the Medicine and Humanities Study Abroad program by Deputy Vice Rector for International Projection and Communication, José Luis González Esteban. This act represented the culmination of the second edition of this program.

 

After a month of diverse activities and lectures, the UTSA students learned about Spanish culture & history, public health & preventive medicine, hospital management, the Mediterranean diet, and they also improved their Spanish language skills.

 

The UTSA students were interviewed at Radio UMH, where they talked about their program experiences. Other study abroad activities included a visit to the Spanish Civil War Interpretive Center in Alicante, Elda Hospital, UMH Clinical Simulation Center in San Juan, and they also toured the UMH Elche Campus before partaking in a wine and food tasting extravaganza featuring local and Spanish gastronomy in the Rectorado Building Dining Hall.

 

 

This same morning, prior to the final act, the UTSA students concluded the fifth and final program module on language training related to healthcare.
