Maggie Lee
Temple University School of Pharmacy '19 "As a volunteer in the Medical Spanish Internship, I was able to utilize my clinical pharmacy knowledge to be an effective member of the clinic team. My Spanish instructor, Zulma, prepared me well with mock patient simulations, increased my Medical Spanish vocabulary, and gave me the confidence to engage with patients with a minimal language barrier. I highly recommend Pop Wuj to anyone looking to challenge themselves and improve their Spanish, go outside of their comfort zone to learn more about a different culture, and make a difference in the lives of undeserved populations." |

University of British Columbia Medical College '20 "I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to visit Pop Wuj for my med school research block. I knew very little Spanish when I first got there and I especially remember the first few days of clinic when I felt hopeless. After a couple weeks, I began feeling a lot more comfortable with the language, all thanks to my amazing Spanish teacher! In fact, the best part of the experience was all the friendships formed with different teachers and staff! I still keep in touch with them on social media and it is always heartwarming to get their messages. I miss them so much." |
