Foreign language

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>In high school, I took French. However, I live in Texas, and the language of choice for medical professions (or really for any profession) is Spanish. I'll be going to Rice University, which is in Texas. I don't know if I should continue French or start a new language- Spanish.</p>

<p>How important is a foreign language for medical school admissions, and are med students required to study a foreign language in Medical School? Would learning Spanish be worth it for medicine?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Oh my yes, Spanish is very helpful in medicine! I live in Louisiana where some Cajun French is still spoken, but I see ten times as many speakers of Spanish than speakers of French.</p>
