Health Care in Puebla #HogsAbroad in Mexico

Hi!  My name is Saurabh Wagle and I'm currently majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Pre Med at the University of Arkansas. This summer, I will spend six weeks studying Health Care in Puebla, Mexico!

I am extremely excited because ever since high school, I have studied and thoroughly enjoyed what the Spanish language has to offer. So much so that I've even decided to minor in it alongside my medical studies.

Hearing about this program from my Spanish teacher,  I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity for me to become fully immersed in the language and culture of Mexico while also giving me the chance to pursue my passion in medicine by taking classes in Spanish medical terminology and shadowing at local hospitals. I will also be living with a host family, which will help me to improve my Spanish speaking skills in an authentic environment. Stay tuned for more blog posts coming your way! ¡Hasta pronto!
