What if I have to miss a class?

Students who miss a class will receive class notes and materials. The make-up class is only in case the instructor needs to cancel a class for any reason.

​

How do I know what is the best course for me?

A placement interview conducted over the phone will determine if the course is the appropriate level for you.

​

Can I get high school or college credit for this program? Can I get volunteer hours?

No, this program does not count for high school or college credit, nor does it count as volunteer time.

​​

What is the refund policy?

Registration fees are non-refundable unless you do not place into one of the courses for the cycle selected. Your placement is determined by your placement interview. Final tuition payments are fully refundable (minus the registration fee) until one month prior to the cycle’s start date.

​

Do we have to do any work outside of class?

Each week, there are vocabulary lists to review and practice activities assigned for completion outside of class. Considering how busy our students’ lives are, the homework assignments are optional, but very, very encouraged.

Do I need to purchase any books or materials?

All materials will be provided by the instructors.

 

How big are the classes?

The 12-month average student-to-teacher ratio is at or below 5 to 1.

Are there one-on-one/individual classes?

On occasion, we may offer free tutoring with volunteer instructors.

What happens if I don't place into a class, or my class gets cancelled for some reason?

You can transfer your registration and tuition to the next cycle of class or you can get a full refund including the registration fee.

 

What is the make-up date for?

The make-up class is reserved in case a class is cancelled by the instructor for any reason.

​

What's the difference between these classes and a Medical Spanish for Specialists Workshop?

The general Medical Spanish course is intended for current medical students or working healthcare professionals who are over the age of 18, while this course does not require students to be 18 years of age to participate. Otherwise, the course material for this Medical Spanish for High School Students program is highly comparable to the advanced levels of the regular Medical Spanish course.

​

Do I have to be a pre-med student to participate?

No, any student with an interest in healthcare work or study is encouraged to register. You do not have to be currently enrolled in a pre-medical program.

​

Where can I find more information about the Medical Spanish course policies?
