Elevate Your Medical Device Expertise: Spanish-Language Virtual Courses Tailored for LATAM

As Latin America cements its role as a global hub for medical device manufacturing and exports, staying ahead of evolving quality, regulatory, and risk expectations has never been more critical. Whether you’re in Mexico’s dynamic border clusters, Costa Rica’s thriving OEM ecosystem, or Argentina’s expanding manufacturing landscape, your teams face mounting demands– from ISO 13485 certifications to FDA audits to global supply chain pressures.

And yet, high-level technical training in Spanish remains surprisingly scarce across the region.

That’s why ELIQUENT Life Sciences (formerly Oriel STAT A MATRIX) is excited to roll out a robust lineup of 9 Spanish-language public seminars, all delivered virtually, specifically crafted for medical device professionals across Latin America. Whether you’re managing compliance from Monterrey, overseeing validations in Alajuela, or supporting global RA/QA from Santo Domingo, these courses are designed to give you the tools, confidence, and credentials to excel.

Why This Matters Now: LATAM's MedTech Boom

Explosive market growth: Latin America’s medical device market, valued at $45.4 billion in 2024, is projected to hit $71.2 billion by 2032, a robust ~5.8% CAGR ¹
Nearshoring and talent shifts: Mexico and Costa Rica are attracting unprecedented investments, driven by skilled engineering graduates (over 150,000 annually in Mexico) and rapid ecosystem expansion (Costa Rica’s medtech jobs more than doubled from 2017-2023)
Rising regulatory alignment: Adopting global standards like ISO 13485, FDA QSR/QMSR, and EU MDR is no longer optional, it’s your ticket to market and your defense in audits.
