Medical Spanish

In this course you will study specific vocabulary used in Medicine and we will concentrate on effective communication with patients. We will also visit a Hospital or Medical Centre, for you to familiarise yourself with the Spanish-speaking environment.

In the first part of the Medical Spanish course, our aim is to provide you with a comprehensive knowledge both of the medical language used by doctors and nurses from all specialities and of the language used by a patient when speaking to a doctor

In the second part of the course we focus on the more in-depth study of the different specialities and fields of Medicine, from the patient’s description of their illness through to diagnosis, looking at the hospitalisation process, treatment, surgical intervention, etc. along the way.
