Yes! You can study medicine in the DR even with limited spanish as you can learn as you go or learn it before starting med school it's not that hard to learn. Medical terminology in english and spanish are very similar. Example: The crane......El craneo....... The frontal bone...... El hueso frontal....Antibiotics...Antibioticos....you get the idea? The most hardest hurdle will be passing the monopoly USMLE step 1,2,3, etc in the states and the large debt you will have after finishing school with the student loans in the several 100 thousand dollars sometimes. Especially if you can not afford to pay it yourself.
