Course Overview

Build the Spanish you need to greet patients, gather basic histories, explain procedures, give clear instructions, and document common terms accurately—from check-in to discharge.

  • Introduce yourself, set expectations, and obtain simple consent in Spanish.
  • Collect demographics, chief complaint, history, medications, and allergies.
  • Explain vitals, triage, pain scales, common tests, and follow-up steps.
  • Give clear instructions for fasting, samples, imaging prep, wound care, and meds.
  • Use accurate introductory terms across body systems and frequent diagnoses.
  • Pronounce key terms clearly and avoid risky phrasing / “false friends.”
