Travel, Study, Learn is a one-week study tour and cultural immersion experience in the “City of Eternal Spring”, Cuernavaca, Mexico. Since 1996, we have taken health professionals from over 20 states and England to Cuernavaca to study at Universidad Internacional where participants have the opportunity to study Spanish, Mexican culture, and live with a Mexican family to become “culture learners”. Guided field trips to health care facilities and local cultural sites provide a first hand view of day-to-day life in a Mexican city. Special conferences provide information on the Mexican health care system, traditional medicine and selected values and beliefs about health and illness.
From Monday-Friday, we are at the school from 8 AM to 2 PM, with Spanish class 8-11 (no more than 5 students/1teacher), seminar from 11-12, and conversacion, grammar or medical Spanish from 12-2. At 2 PM, you return to your family for the main meal of the day. Universidad Internacional offers 12 levels of Spanish from beginner to very advanced; you will be placed in a class according to your language abilities. During the weekend and evenings, there will be social functions or excursions which you can attend. The week literally flies by.
The cost is $1350 plus air from your city. 36 CEUs are provided. We depart from Dallas/Fort Worth and fly to Mexico City, where we take a van or bus to Cuernavaca. We ask that those who fly from other cities meet us in the Mexico City airport by 12:30 PM on the Friday we arrive.
