About Healthcare spanish

Why this project is needed?

Traditional courses meet too infrequently and you need to learn useful phrases now! While traditional coursework is a fine option, they present a problem. They either meet everyday at inconvenient times, or the meet weekly and give you very little time to actually practice speaking and listening to Spanish! Furthermore, it would take weeks or months before you actually get to learn useful phrases. Finally, most medical Spanish courses are not focused on terms you will use in your day to day work.

How urgent is the need for Spanish in health care?

By 2050, it is expected that one in five Americans -- 20 percent -- will be elderly. The population will also become increasingly diverse. By 2050, racial and ethnic minorities will comprise 35 percent of the over 65 pop-ulation.7 As the population at risk of chronic conditions becomes increasingly diverse, more attention to linguistic and cultural barriers to care will be necessary. — Georgetown University, Health Policy Institute
