Programmdetails
Under the guidance of experienced paramedics and healthcare professionals, students will practice essential procedures like CPR, airway management, wound care, splinting, administering medications, and using equipment such as defibrillators and stretchers. They will also gain experience working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where teamwork, communication, and quick decision-making are critical.
Beyond clinical and technical skills, participants will also develop a deeper understanding of patient care, empathy, and professionalism in stressful situations. They will learn and practice communicating in Spanish calmly and effectively with patients, families, and other emergency responders, ensuring transparent information exchange and patient reassurance. Exposure to diverse scenarios — from roadside accidents and home emergencies to public health crises — will help students build confidence and adaptability. Additionally, they will gain insight into protocols, documentation, and the coordination between different emergency services, preparing them for the realities of a first responder’s day-to-day responsibilities. Learning Medical Spanish is a key component of this experience.
