Coast2CoastPAC Posted June 11, 2014 A preceptor I have been longing to learn from is now only taking students who are bilingual (Spanish/English) [The rotation is in the Central Valley of CA, so it's not uncommon to expect this]. Do you have any recommendations on how to learn Medical Spanish quickly and sufficiently? Online resources? Apps? Books? I know this is something I need to do anyway if I plan on staying in CA (or the West Coast for that matter). How did you learn Spanish if it was not your first language (outside of an academic setting, preferably)?
rfoster Posted December 21, 2015 Hi, here are a couple of Medical Spanish resources you might be interested in: Free medical Spanish terminology resources - updated monthly Elective medical Spanish rotations in Costa Rica (not free).
TeacherPA Posted January 11, 2016 Hey RFoster- Do you know if those rotations in Costa Rica are accepted by all programs/recognized by PAEA? I am really interested in improving my Spanish language skills while in school, because many of the people in my area are Spanish speakers (and likely will be my future patients). I don't think that the school I am attending has much experience with international rotations, though...
