MEDICAL LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL IMMERSION TRAINING

Overview:

The growth of the Latino and Spanish speaking population in the U.S. has grown exponentially over the past two decades. The current literature indicates the need for linguistic and cultural competency. Federal agencies note issues related to health care disparities by ethnic group. Professional associations note the importance and utility of developing linguistic and cultural competency for competent transcultural medical practice.

Medical Spanish language and cultural immersion is designed for all medical personnel: Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, nursing professionals, occupational therapists, social workers, mental health workers, psychologists and others.

1) Participants will increase their linguistic skills related to patient care in the following areas:

       a) Conversational language skills with target population

       b) Medical evaluation skills in interviewing patient in mother tongue of patient.

       c) Explanation of medical illness, diagnosis, medical procedures and use of medication necessary to treat patient disorder including
          explanations, as appropriate to patient family.
