It’s time to brush off your dusty Spanish skills and focus on medical conversations you really need. This course is for those who have a basic foundation of Spanish and are interested in expanding vocabulary that will be immediately beneficial in a mutitude of healthcare situations.

Bridge the communication gap with this intensive program, designed specifically for busy healthcare professionals like you who are ready to learn Spanish in an effective, non–threatening experience.

Imagine being able to apply conversational phrases to communicate so much more effectively with your Spanish speaking patients. Ultimately, you will improve clinical outcomes, reduce communication errors, potentially avoid medication errors and support patient satisfaction. Along the way, you’ll also ease your own worries, as you feel more confident in the communication you can incorporate into practice.
