You’ll learn the foundations of mastering a foreign language. You’ll start with the basic foundations of Spanish, such as the alphabet and common greetings, as well as how to progress through: nouns, verb conjugation and vocabulary for numbers, time, money, food, clothing and anatomy.

Once you’ve mastered the foundations of Spanish, you’ll start learning how to conduct patient assessments. You’ll begin learning vocabulary to describe families, irregular verbs and how to conduct skin, respiratory and cardiovascular assessments. You’ll walk away knowing vocabulary for colors, giving directions, and how to properly use the verbs ser and estar.

In the second half of the course you’ll learn how to assess the gastrointestinal system, genitourinary system, musculoskeletal system, reproductive system and terminology for labor and delivery. You’ll also learn vocabulary for the calendar, professions, emotions, remedies, medical equipment, medications and specialists.

You’ll then pull all of your assessment skills together to create fluent sentences for communicating confidently with your Spanish speaking patients. We’ll also take a look at complementary and alternative medicine/folk medicine.
