Boston Medical Spanish Center
an initiative of the AES World Languages and Cultures Institute 501(c)3
Medical Spanish classes and programming for all of Boston's healthcare professionals
MEDICAL Spanish Clinics
Single-session classes providing focused practice on topics relevant to general patient care
These clinics offer medical professionals practice using Spanish to navigate common processes integral to general patient care. Clinics build on existing Spanish language proficiency while allowing for focused improvement on specific topics such as taking patient vitals, medical history, and insurance information. The narrower scope of these clinics thus compliments the broader courses of study offered by our general Medical Spanish Courses and Specialty Workshops. All clinics include 2 hours of live online instruction as well as 3 hours of guided independent work.
