    Hello!
    I am a RN and would like more practice and assessment on my Spanish level and skills so I can effectively communicate with my patients and families.
    I need to work on conjugation, diction and acquisition of medical terms that are most commonly used in acute care.

    Thanks! Looking forward to the class!

    It appears that I am late for this class. Disregarding that, I’m a novice EMT and a working knowledge of Spanish medical terminology is imperative for rapid assessment for a first responder.

    Hi! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice on the island of Maui, Hawaii and we have a growing population of Spanish speaking residents who are in need of mental health services. I was born in Colombia, but was adopted and raised in NJ in an English speaking family. I did take some Spanish courses over the years and am starting to redouble my efforts to learn on my own this past few months. I want very much to be able to provide support to Spanish speakers and the only way to do that effectively is by advancing my Spanish language skills for a professional context. I’m very excited about this free course and hope it can help me go from a confident beginner to at least a solid intermediate Spanish language speaker.

Also, I think that if I am able to speak directly to patients in their native language, I will gain their trust, which will facilitate a more cooperative relationship.

    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 work in a hospital where there are a lot of Spanish-speaking patients. I am also planning to go on a medical mission trip to a Spanish-speaking country. It would be helpful to be able to communicate some essentials.

    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 a doc recently returned to the States from many years in Japan and other parts of Asia. I’m working in Pocatello where many of my patients are Spanish speaking. I’ve been studying Spanish since arriving here but have a long way to go.

    I want to be an NP and feel being bilingual would be a helpful tool. I have a lot to learn, just getting back into it. I haven’t had any Spanish classes/lessons since I was in high school (10 years ago).

    I work as a physician doing locum tenens – I work most often in Washington and Alaska with a fair number of Hispanic patients. I have learned some Spanish over the years, but I need help in staying consistent with what I know and to learn more.

    Soy Chris y yo trabajo en un centro de plasma aquí en Colorado donde hago el examen físico y revisar la historia antes de donación. Recentimente yo era aprobado hacer lo en Español. Yo quiero aprender más, así que yo puedo entender todas las cirugias y condiciones la gente podria tener facilmente. Con frecuencia trabajo muy tarde y desafortunadamente salir del trabajo despues de siete pero leí que puedo ver los videos luego. Dega me si hay un problemo con este.

    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.

      Hey Jennifer, yes that’s very common to have your comprehension lead your ability to express yourself. With some targeted vocabulary and the strategies you’ll learn in this masterclass, you’ll be well on your way speaking more Spanish!

    Hi, my name is Caitlin and I’m a RN on a postpartum unit. We work with multiple Spanish speaking patients and I would love to be able to provide the same care I do for my English speaking patients. I’ve tried multiple routes and lately have been teaching myself which isn’t easy. I can’t wait to see how this helps me and my patients!

    I am a primary care physician at an FQHC serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In the long term, I hope to get to the point where I can complete a whole visit in spanish.

    I live and work in the DFW Texas as an RN. I will eventually be changing my position to a pediatric home care nurse, and I know there is a huge Spanish speaking population in my area so I want to be prepared professionally and do not want to be limited to English speaking clients only. Plus knowing a second language can open up so many doors, both professionally and personally.

    I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take this masterclass. I am a genetic counseling student, and I am just coming off a summer rotation during which I counseled many patients in Spanish. I hope to use this course as a tool to consolidate my Spanish learning from that time, practice my conversational skills more, and get a better sense of how I can plan my future studying.
