French or German, depending on which university to go to.

I don't know about any Italian-language programs in Switzerland.

Swiss. Obviously.

Unless you go to a heavily Mexican area of Switzerland. They'll speak Mexican there rather than Swiss, just like they speak Mexican rather than English in American barrios.

Looks like I wasted all of those years learning to speak Spanish. All that time I should have been learning how to speak Mexican.

I'm guessing people are making jokes about the Swiss and Mexican languages since there are no such things.

Most people (probably just about everyone) in Switzerland speak quite a few languages, but their official languages (and thus the languages you might encounter in an academic setting) are German, French, Italian, and Romansh. German is the most prevalent, followed by French. I haven't gone to school in Switzerland but I'd imagine most lectures are taught with those two.

The best way to know is to contact the medical schools themselves and ask what language they use for instruction (you can also look at the default language for their website, if they have a default). Even if Switzerland has a lot of medical schools, you can just copy and paste the same e-mail asking all of them, so it wouldn't take much time.

Please don't spread your ignorance about Mexicans and Swiss.

This put a smile on my face after a long day of Robbins reading
