I would drift towards spanish as an unexperienced premed student. But what the hell do I know?

location location location. it completely depends on your patient population. There is a nonexistent Japanese population here and a decent spanish population, which explains why I can still speak spanish, but barely a lick of Japanese anymore. I'm sure I go elsewhere adn knowing Japanese and medical Japanese would be a useful skill.

Just keep in mind that just as medical english and actual english are two separate languages, so are medical spanish/japanese/chinese and regular spanish/japanese/chinese
