thepadiaries Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hey everyone! I will be starting PA school in August of 2019 and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a medical Spanish course that I could take prior to starting my program? I took four years of Spanish in high school and a semester in college so I have a basic foundation but I am looking for a more concrete course that focuses on medical terminology and common phrases used in a healthcare setting. Additionally, I would prefer a course that gives you a certificate of completion that I could list on my resume. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I interviewed at UF they mentioned something about it on their campus and if you wanted to volunteer on their mobile clinic you had to be a certified interpreter.. I am not much of help, but I plan to do this after PA school since I did some interpreting at the local free clinic for migrant workers and I would like to get some of the medical terminology down. Any reason why you'd want to do this before PA school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graceandglory Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I’ll be taking the Spanish for Healthcare Professionals online through Briar Cliff University this semester before I start PA school! I’ll be located in an area where many pts speak Spanish only and would like to better equip myself as a future provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
