Medical Spanish

The need for Spanish-speaking medical professionals is increasing. A Medical Spanish course can help doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, dentists, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, medical assistants, nutritionists, and other allied health workers gain the essential vocabulary in Spanish, terminology and communication skills in order to provide high-quality care to the Spanish speaking audience.

In a Medical Spanish course in any of our destinations in South America (e.g. Peru or Argentina), you will learn Spanish vocabulary: how to greet, make a personal connection to the patients and their families, discuss and schedule appointments. But at most schools, you will also learn how to help Spanish speaking patients with paperwork, take a medical history, assess patient comfort, question patients about their symptoms, conduct a physical examination, and give all kind of instructions. Depending on the destination you choose, medical shadowing might be included.
