Learn Medical Spanish | Medical Spanish Course in Panama

Any medical professional knows that in order to diagnose with precision, one needs the whole picture. The patient's symptoms, lab tests and physical examinations only give you a portion of it, but without being able to clearly understand the patient's past and current symptoms and his or hers clinical history, you could take more time than what is really necessary to diagnose or you could even misdiagnose.

Being able to directly and effectively communicate with your patient and his/her family without the need of a medical interpreter will definitely enable you to not only make a personal connection with your patient but to also provide him or her with the medical health care that you're really capable of providing. And lets face it, sometimes something very important could get lost in translation when using a medical Spanish interpreter.

The following table provides a general outline for several of our Medical Spanish Courses depending on your specific profession. Depending on your current Spanish level you might not need to cover some topics or might need to work on your general Spanish skills before tackling others. The general course contents is designed to be covered in 40 to 60 hours of lessons: from 2 - 3 weeks assuming you already have a lower intermediate level of Spanish proficiency, B1. If you're a beginner or don't know any Spanish, you should first reach an intermediate level of Spanish before joining this medical course. Certain topics, medical terminology and vocabulary related to a specific specialty can increase the length of your medical Spanish program.

Physicians must let us know if they have a specialty in order to cover specialized vocabulary, terminology and Spanish skills related to their specific specialty during their medical Spanish program. Or if you would like to focus on a specific area of your medical Spanish just let us know. We have plenty of experience preparing Medical Spanish Courses for Gynecologists, Orthopedists, Pediatricians, Neurologists, Oncologists, Nurses, Hospital Managers, etc. We can also prepare your Medical Spanish Classes to cover ethical topics and current health care policies can also be discussed or debated in class.
