SN 300 - Spanish for the Professions: Healthcare

(3.00 cr.)

Introduces the use of Spanish in healthcare and social services fields. The course provides functional Spanish designed for students preparing for a career in healthcare (speech pathology, psychology, pre-health, forensics, etc.) who need to be familiar with vocabulary, conversational Spanish, basic translation, and cultural practices. With an emphasis on aural and oral interactions, the variety of vocabulary and phrasal expressions used by Latinx populations living in the U.S.A. are covered. An equally important element of this course is cultural competency that provides students a cultural and historical background to understand the notions of health and sickness in the Spanish-speaking world. The course uses a specialized textbook and requires viewing complementary movies and reading literary texts to illustrate medical issues.
