About Cross-Cultural Health in Spain

Live and study in the walled city of Toledo, home for more than 2,000 years to a succession of Roman, Jewish, Visigoth, Moorish, and Christian civilizations.

A city of approximately 80,000, Toledo offers an environment where you can be immersed in Spanish culture through coursework, internships, and daily life.

This program is geared toward students in the health fields, including pre-med, pre-nursing, public health, health services management, and more, who already have a background in Spanish and who are interested in studying a cross-cultural view of health care.

Based at the San Juan de la Penitencia residence, a converted 16th-Century convent, the program offers modern learning facilities surrounded by spectacular views of the city, as well as easy access to the downtown area and public transit.
