Studying Spanish at Austin College was invaluable and gave me deeper insight into the Hispanic culture. It prepared me to confidently communicate with and treat patients while in dental school, now during my pediatric dental residency, and eventually in private practice. Learning Spanish is definitely something I would recommend for anyone pursuing a field in healthcare, and at Austin College students are privileged with a number of unique resources (i.e., the Jordan Family Language House) and study abroad opportunities that make learning the language fun and meaningful.
