This course focuses on building specialized medical terminology and developing the linguistic skills needed to effectively communicate with, assess, and care for Spanish-speaking patients in clinical settings. It develops cross-cultural competence and awareness by giving special consideration to relevant cultural differences and how they may impact the doctor-patient relationship. It also discusses major health issues (such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, HIV) that affect Hispanic communities in the United States, with a focus on prevention and education, as well as barriers to access medical care. It offers extensive practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing using authentic materials (journalistic articles, patient educational materials, videos, podcasts) and communicative activities (pair and small-group work, simulations, debates, etc.) to develop the proficiency needed to pursue further language study at the intermediate level.
