Medical Spanish & Cultural Competency Workshop
Yakima, WA
Presented by the Northwest Regional Primary Care Association
This popular four-day intensive course offers two levels of medical and conversational Spanish for clinicians. The course will include medical dialogues, role-plays, cross-cultural discussions, and daily conversational practice.The course provides approximately 30 hours of total immersion in medical and conversational Spanish; the curriculum includes 1,500 general and medical words that are relevant to clinical practice. This approach has proven highly effective for busy clinicians with limited time and the need to be able to communicate with their Spanish-speaking patients. In addition, the cultural competency component of the course will afford clinicians better cross-cultural communication skills.
