Program Description
Our students live in Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala for 6 months. Through
intensive Spanish courses, lecture series, socially and culturally relevant
volunteer projects, and weekly activities, our students gain the language
capability and cultural competency desperately needed to serve marginalized,
Spanish-speaking Latino populations.

Dear Pre-Health Advisors,
The University of Southern California Somos Hermanos Student Immersion
Program is currently accepting applications for both its July - December
2008 and the January - June 2009 program sessions. The goal of our program
is to increase the number of bilingual and culturally competent health care
providers in the U.S. through an intensive language and culture immersion
experience based in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.
Students from any university who are between undergraduate and graduate
school in the health care professions (e.g. medicine, nursing, dentistry,
public health, etc...) are eligible to participate in this program. We
would appreciate it if you would take the time to review our website and
send our interest e-mail (below) to any students whom you think would be
interested in participating in the upcoming or future sessions. If you have
any questions, please feel free to e-mail us.
Application deadline for both sessions is Friday, April 11th, 2008
We hope to hear from you soon,
Joe Herrold and Elise Wach, Directors
