BLHO has just completerd the 1997 Spanish in Medicine elective and it was a huge sucess. Student feedback indicates that the sessions were quite informative and served to introduce the novice student to the spanish language and syntax. The advanced student got a breadth for Spanish in a clinical and anatomical sense. We thank all of our instructors and our students for being so enthusiastic. We hope everyone was a pleased taking the course as much as we were in bringing it to you.
