Through Charlar Con Cafecito, our medical students are strengthening their Spanish language skills while building meaningful relationships with community members through conversation, culture and connection.☕
The initiative, led by Michaela Mitchell, MS3, and Mary Conley, MS4, with guidance from Assistant Professor Karla O’Donald, creates opportunities for students to practice conversational Spanish in a welcoming environment while preparing to provide more empathetic, culturally responsive care.
