Dear Colleagues,
I need some help finding an English equivalent for the expression "abonar a".
Here's the conext: "Asimismo, la Dra. X constantemente le muestra al claustro académico su gran interés por seguir aprendiendo, profesionalizarse y abonar a las prácticas médicas de alta especialización y calidad."
I found on RAE the following meaning: prnl. Insistir en un acto que agrada, desear practicarlo con reiteración. Me abonaría a veranear allí.
Thank you for any suggestions.
