Medical Spanish

Medical Spanish is a program designed especially for health care workers. This program was created by El Centro Hispano’s HISPAmericano Institute working in collaboration with Duke School of Nursing and Latino Health Project at Duke University in 2004 and has had many excellent results!

The main objective of this program is to facilitate better communication between health care providers and their Latino patients in Durham. Health care workers who want to learn Spanish will experience more direct and easy communication with their patients and be able to provide them information in Spanish about their health and treatments. Students learn medical vocabulary, grammar, useful questions and expressions.

Medical Spanish Program is a 10-week class and meets 2 hours per week.
