Spanish Class Training |

The
patient interview is the primary focus for
a doctor working in a Spanish-speaking environment,
as this will be their main method of data
collection. Normally, however, English-speaking
doctors need to work with interpreters during
patient interviews with Spanish speakers.
Because of this, the Medical Spanish course
is designed around the patient interview
and a host of sub-tasks that form part of
a doctor's daily work.
