Learn Medical Spanish

by Ben Tanner, PA-C

In the "Learn Medical Spanish" podcast, you'll learn specific, curated vocabulary to help you communicate with your Spanish-speaking patients more easily. This podcast is focused on healthcare providers or other medical professionals who want to improve their Spanish. My background is emergency medicine and family practice, but regardless of your medical specialty, you'll likely find some useful terminology that you can use on the job. I'll cover medical Spanish dialogues, medical Spanish terminology / vocabulary, Spanish anatomy, and more. Hope it helps!
