New Course to Teach Beginning Spanish to U.S. Health-care Professionals

“Help is on the way for health-care workers who don’t know one word of Spanish but increasingly find themselves treating Latino patients.

In North Carolina, a team of representatives from state government health agencies and higher education has started work on a language course designed especially for them: “!A su salud! (meaning ‘To your health!’) Introductory Spanish for Health Professionals.”

Health-care workers will be able to take the course in traditional classrooms or on their own via distance learning. It will focus on Spanish specific to the work of nurses, doctors, pharmacists, dentists, social workers and allied and public health professionals.”
