PAS 560 - Medical Spanish 1 Lab Hours
Effective communication with Spanish-speaking minorities is becoming increasingly necessary, and physician assistant students need appropriate instruction to facilitate communication within the patient’s cultural context. Medical Spanish is a 2-week course geared toward the physician assistant practicing in a pluralistic society and in a region where the majority of patients speak Spanish. The course is devoted to the study of medical Spanish terminology and the cultural issues that may impact health care delivery. The student will be introduced to a wide array of vocabulary, essential expressions and commands particular to the medical field that will promote successful interactions within the clinical encounter. This course will highlight the importance of professional medical translators thereby preparing the student for seamless collaboration with Spanish-speaking patients and interpretation services. The concept of Cultural Linguistic Appropriate Services (CLAS) and Specific Prevention Initiatives in health care will be introduced.
