SPN 270 - Spanish for Healthcare Providers, 3 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): SPN 102
Spanish for Health Care Providers is designed to give students a fundamental background in the Spanish that is spoken in health care settings and a greater understanding of Latino culture in the United States. More broadly, this course asks students to consider the legal, ethical, and cultural challenges of delivering healthcare to a culturally and linguistically diverse population. Through conversation practice, simulated oral situations, readings, vocabulary exercises, exams, and short papers in both English and Spanish students will learn to communicate in Spanish in a wide range of situations pertinent to health-related scenarios.
