Spain | Nursing

Typically nursing cross-cultural experiences take place in the developing world. Why consider a first-world country such as Spain? The health care system in Spain is often considered amongst the best in the world. As a whole, Spain has more doctors and hospital beds (per 1000 people) when compared with the US and UK. Six of the eleven Spanish hospitals listed in the 200 best in the world, according to Newsweek´s World´s Best Hospitals 2021 are in Madrid. For students who are not interested in working abroad in a developed nation or have a passion for the administration side of medicine, this is the program for them. A nursing program in Spain will hold a mix of clinical hours and a variety of meetings to dive deep into what socialized medicine looks like in Europe, and specifically in Spain.
