In 2002, the PACE MedSpanish Global Health Program  emerged as a social impact initiative. Today, it spans several sectors of medical care that help improve health in North America and Latin America.

The MedSpanish program  has two fundamental purposes:

1. Students are incorporated as part of the work team of clinics, hospitals, rural and ambulatory brigades, contributing to the development of health in the communities.

The potential developed by the students is strengthened thanks to the fact that this program allows them to have direct contact with the Mexican health system that includes patients, doctors, nurses, paramedics, processes, treatments, methodologies, etc. Everyone involved in this fantastic experience benefits from sharing their knowledge, experiences and points of view.

2. Students learn Spanish, one of the main objectives of students is to learn the language within the context of health care. The students take Spanish classes, for this they do a placement exam in order to place them at the level that corresponds to them, and they have an interview with a Spanish teacher who confirms that the assigned level is correct.

International students who participate in the program often collaborate with  PACE by developing new training models for its application and improving development conditions.
