Are there American-trained doctors in Volcan and Cerro Punta, Chiriqui Province, Panama?

Most of the doctors in the Volcán and Cerro Punta region are U.S.-trained. (Note that my wording is different from the question. Except in the United States, "American" means anywhere in the Americas, from Canada to Tierra del Fuego; especially in Latin America it means Latin America, and not the United States. In Spanish, they say "entrñado estadounidense" for "U.S.-trained".)

Most of the doctors here in Volcan speak at least a modicum of English. Most are at least very good, and some are excellent.  If you do not speak any Spanish, call ahead to see if a doctor speaks English, or bring along a bilingual friend.

 

Of course, I strongly urge all new residents here to learn to speak at least some Spanish. Of course one can get by without the ability, but, if you really want to enjoy living here, and want to earn the liking and respect of your neighbors, and want a fuller range of pleasant experience, LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH.
