SPN 270 - Spanish for Healthcare Providers, 3 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): SPN 102 or higher level language course
Spanish for Healthcare Providers is designed to give students a fundamental background in the Spanish that is spoken in healthcare 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 health care 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.
