The Medical Spanish for Heritage Learners Program at the University of Texas-Pan American is the first academic minor designed for heritage learners of Spanish who are interested in the health professions.
Our aim is to contribute to the creation of a new and dynamic bilingual and bicultural leadership for the health care professions - one that will increase access to health care services for Latino patients, that will engender excellence in the quality of services, and that will make a positive impact on the health outcomes for one of America's most vulnerable populations.
