  • Aim to develop knowledge of and skills in Spanish language to broaden healthcare professionals’ performance in providing services for diverse patient groups

  • Applicable to a range of healthcare professions including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, therapists, and many more

  • Built on specific and measurable learning objectives

  • Conversation and vocabulary driven, targeting medical terminology and vital communication structures through interactive activities
