The HSI program features a wide variety of presentations by doctors, gay rights activists, urban planners, medical anthropologists, and members of the Chilean National Congress, among others, in order to present a complete picture of the Chilean society and health system.  All presentations are in Spanish and students have ample opportunity to ask questions as these presentations are limited to HSI participants.

“My favorite presentations were the medical anthropology, the one on Chile in the last 30 years, the comparison between Chilean and US healthcare systems, and the presentation about AIDS and homosexuals in Chile. All of those had really engaging and interesting speakers, and the topics fell into my interests”. -Priyanka Mitra, HSI ’09 participant
