Emily Swafford of Tennessee is a premed student at the University of Miami.

She just recently (summer 2016) attended our Spanish & Medicine program in Cusco, Peru, and she has some excellent stories and advice!

From sleeping in the jungle to observing procedures without anesthesia, Emily has memories to share and experiences that will stick with her as she continues down the path of becoming a physician.
