    I’m a Physician Assistant and I have a lot of Spanish speaking patients. I took quite a bit of Spanish in college but have never been certified as bilingual so couldn’t use it at work. And so I have lost a lot of it. I have been working lately on improving my medical Spanish. I can usually understand most of what a patient says. For Example, I could read what Chris wrote above that they work in a Plasma center and review the history and physical for patients prior to donation. They leave work late after 7 but is able to watch videos later.

    This class sounds like an amazing opportunity to get medical Spanish. Throughout my career there has been few classes except for recently maybe that have addressed this issue.
    My mother didn’t teach me Spanish,, she I guess had taken it for granted that our great grandmother who lived with us and only spoke Spanish would somehow by osmosis give us the language. Not true. I even would ask my mother, hey mom can you help me with this word or phrase? nope. no help. I taught myself Spanish, took a gazillion classes, watched tele Novelas lol, worked home health in predominantly Spanish neighborhoods. So…I am so excited to fine tune or get more vocabulary. Thank you for helping me. helping all of us.

    I’m a registered nurse, and I recently started working for an urgent care which sees an underserved and diverse patient population, many of whom speak Spanish. It would be mutually beneficial for my patients and myself if I was able to communicate more efficiently, so my patients feel heard and cared for. I hope to establish a better rapport with my Spanish speaking patients.

    I’m a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and struggle through appointments with my Spanish-speaking patients. I can speak just enough to get me in trouble, but the appointment takes too long because I’m looking up words like “carbohydrates” on Google Translate! I also have a hard time with the past tense. I’m interested in the immersion program, so I thought this would give me a great first taste of your teaching style and start turning the Spanish gears in my mind as preparation.

    I’m working on the Spanish for the Health Professions certificate at my university, but this semester my class is a culture, rather than Spanish, class. If I don’t have something scheduled to keep me focus, I won’t find the time for the Spanish. I work in a free clinic one afternoon each week and my Spanish-speaking patients would be better served if I could speak directly to them without an interpreter. I need repetition.
