Spanish with emphasis on medical issues / assessment

Rating:
(votes: 0)


Can anyone recommend a place to take a Spanish course that would help my communication skills? I am looking for something geared towards medical professionals, not a basic Spanish course. Has anyone had success with an online place of study?
My local county college (that also has a ASN program & runs a BSN program on campus for one of the statue universities) offers courses in medical Spanish for college credit and non-credit adult ed (but adult ed includes contact hours). I think the requirement is the equivalent of Spanish I or a baseline ability to pronounce/read Spanish.They also offer a course in American sign language. After ASL 1 you can take the course in medical ASL.Perhaps your local community college has a similar offering?

Thank you! I will check on this. I had assumed (I know, should never do this!) that the only Spanish courses would be for conversational Spanish within any college system. I will take a look!

If you are already a basic spanish speaker I would recommend doing podcasts. I do them and really like it because it focuses on the verbal ability vs. your ability to read and write which is less important in the hospital setting.

Chulada77- what podcasts have you found most valuable?
