Is There a Foreign Language Requirement?

 

No, but it is recommended at some medical schools. Schools that are located in states where foreign-language speakers are widely prevalent will probably recommend its applicants to learn a foreign language. For example, medical schools in California highly recommend that its applicants have some knowledge of Spanish.

 

Note that learning a foreign language can only help strengthen one’s application. If time persists, learning a foreign language might be something worth investing in if you want to be a doctor.
