Elementary Spanish for Healthcare Workers

This Spanish course is designed for students with no previous knowledge of the language who are interested in acquiring basic conversational skills in Spanish relevant to healthcare. Thus, the course presents the student with health and medical terminology, basic grammar, and important aspects regarding Hispanic and Latinx Culture. Emphasis will be constantly placed on patient-professional communication, and on the vocabulary, scientific terms, and idioms necessary in that context. A significant part of the course will be spent in roleplay situations with the professor, classmates, and Spanish-speaking volunteers.
