Spanish for Healthcare Professionals

Deadline to enroll is May 15, 2024

Spanish for Healthcare Professionals
Our Spanish for Healthcare Professionals class aims to bridge the gap between health care workers and their Spanish speaking patients. The course will help students develop fundamental Spanish language and culture skills within the context of nursing, social work, or other medical professions. No prior Spanish experience is needed. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of completion.

Class Structure
The class will be taught as an asynchronous online class. Students will be able to complete weekly work and assignments at their leisure, and will also have the option to meet with the teacher via Zoom each week to practice pronunciation or ask questions. Work will not be graded in the traditional sense, but students will receive regular feedback.

How Can Our Class Help You?
We will study the basics of the language as well as necessary communication tools such as greetings, body and health vocabulary, ways to request common information needed in a medical setting, comforting patients, and more. Lessons on cultural norms of the Latino community, such as family dynamic, health education and prevention, Latino patients in the US healthcare system, and gender roles, will also be incorporated.

For all refunds, regardless of circumstance, there will be a $25.00 administration fee.
