This 6-week virtual class will teach you the basics in health care terminology and communication with Spanish-speaking clients in the health care setting. Taught with the Latin American pronunciation and accent, this course is perfect for doctors, nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, and anyone who interacts with a Spanish-speaking public in the healthcare setting. Emphasis will include vocabulary of organs and body systems, hospital terminology, diseases and conditions, pertinent questions about medical history, and how to give simple commands such as when performing a physical exam.
