Abstract
For my STEP Signature Project, I studied abroad in Lima, Peru on a trip organized by International Study Abroad (ISA). I took Medical Spanish and Public Health Classes at the Medical School in Lima and lived with a host mother for 5 weeks. While I was there, I also had the opportunity to travel to the Amazon Rain Forest in Iquitos, to Machu Picchu and Cuzco, and to the Islas Ballestas and Huacachina in the department of Ica, along with several public health “field trips” to hospitals and rural areas surrounding Lima with my classmates. The program ran from May 17th through June 22nd, 2019 and helped me to explore a growing interest in using Spanish to communicate to a broader patient population as a physician.
