It's always a pleasure to chat with students and future medical professionals who are doing amazing things, asi que sean ustedes bienvenidos al nuestro primer 'Student Spotlight'!
In our second episode, we chat with Aldana Garcia and Enrique Cazares, current students at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (MSU CHM), who designed and implemented their institution's first Medical Spanish Elective course! We talk about how and why they worked to establish this course, how they designed their curriculum, how they found institutional support , and how they ensured this course stayed adaptable and self-sustaining across multiple cohorts now that they've transitioned to continuing their studies.
