All the tools you need to communicate confidently and effectively with Spanish-speaking patients
As a dedicated healthcare provider you know that effective communication is key to providing patients with the high quality of care they deserve. And for healthcare providers working in North America that often entails communicating with Spanish-speaking patients and their families.
A valuable resource for physicians, nurses, hospital technicians, physical therapists, and medical administrators with little or no Spanish-language experience, this book provides you with all the Spanish you need to do your job.
Convenient, flexible, and complete, McGraw-Hill's Spanish for Healthcare Providers features:
- A Comprehensive Course Book--Using sample dialogues, numerous exercises, and more than 200 expert illustrations, the book introduces a vocabulary of 3,000 general and medical terms, builds familiarity with typical medical situations, and develops a greater awareness of Latino culture and its impact on healthcare issues. A bilingual glossary features 1,000 of the most useful medical Spanish terms for easy reference.
- Audio CDs--Featuring a variety of native speakers, the first two CDs contain vocabulary, phrases, and dialogues that reflect a wide range of common medical situations--everything from the first interview to medication instructions and follow-up--while the third zeros in on situations typically encountered by physicians, nurses, physician assistants, technicians, and other healthcare providers. An accompanying booklet contains the full scripts and English translations of the dialogues.
- Continuing Medical Education Tests for CME credit--The 15 CME tests contained in this booklet have been approved by the AMA for up to 75 hours of credit. Test accreditation is sponsored by the University of Arizona College of Medicine at the Arizona Health Sciences Center.

By way of disclosure: I received the book and some of the CDs when I enrolled in classes taught by the authors.
The book covers a wide range of material starting with very easy concepts and then rapidly advancing to more advanced grammar. That will prove to be quite challenging for students with no prior exposure to Spanish. However, since the book does not assume that the reader has a prior background in Spanish there is a fair amount of basic grammar information that an advanced learner will understandably want to ignore. These are problems inherent in the attempt to write a book that will be useful to both beginners and advanced students. In other words, the book isn't perfect, but that's OK. I think that virtually all students interested in medical Spanish will find the book useful. Also, the book is targeted at people who work in health care in the United States. It does not attempt to address all of the communication needs of somebody who is planning to go on mission trips or work alongside Spanish speaking doctors. Having a clear focus is a Good Thing.
Students with no background at all can benefit from this book and the CDs, but they will need additional resources. Ideally, the beginning student should take a class of some kind rather than trying to learn to speak a language without a teacher.
I think the CDs are useful for more advanced students since it is always good to engage multiple senses in language learning, but they are not nearly as important for someone who already speaks Spanish.
I have tried using several different books on medical Spanish to help myself and some of my employees learn, and this book is easily the best I have seen.
