Global Health in Spain recap! Our GHS 2026 cohort has spent a packed and rewarding 18 days in Malaga, Tangier, and Barcelona studying global health, meeting local medical and law students, and observing their environments in relation to health and healthcare systems.

Activities including meeting with impactful organizations like Women in Global Health Spain, Asociación Arrabal-AID, and Fondation Orient-Occident to discuss missions such as supporting migrants and refugees in Tangier and highlighting contributions of women in health fields.

The group also got to participate in cultural activities such as a cooking class, a flamenco show, a local scavenger hunt, and a day trip to Ronda.

These students are leaving thinking about the similarities and differences between healthcare systems in the U.S., Spain, and Morocco, and how their experiences can shape their work and studies back home 🇪🇸🇲🇦

Wrapping up our A&S First Year Programs spotlight week with our Costa Rica group! 🇨🇷

The students used Costa Rica as a living laboratory, examining tropical environments, conducting fieldwork, and analyzing how ecological systems respond to climate change.

The program’s activities included a visit to La Selva Biological Station, Lake Arenal and its surrounding hot springs, hanging bridges in the Arenal region, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, a discussion hosted by women’s cooperative CASEM, and a multitude of hikes 🌿🌧️

By exploring Costa Rica, the students have gained an experiential and intercultural lens into biodiversity, sustainability, and environmental science 💚

Thank you to everyone who has followed our journey showcasing each unique location of our 2026 A&S Global Programs. We’re already looking forward to next year!
