Part of the Spanish at Work series, this communicative, needs-based approach to language learning is designed to help professionals or pre-professionals in one of the many areas of health care.  Designed for beginning language students (no prior knowledge of Spanish is assumed), for whom success in the field is vitally important, Spanish for Health Care prepares students to use “real-life language” on the job–immediately.

  • Hands-on communicative focus
    • Offers a “real world” approach to mastering “need to know” vocabulary and core phrases essential to health care.
  • Grammar practice embedded in context
    • Presents grammar in small “bytes” that are easily mastered, pertain to the context of the material, and focus on communication.
  • Practical vocabulary presentation
    • Provides students with manageable amounts of vocabulary supported by art, realia, and photographs.
  • Síntesis extension exercises
    • Provides students with activities that bring the chapter vocabulary, structures, and cultural content together, in order to use Spanish in a realistic and functionally appropriate way.
  • Culturally focused
    • Features cross-cultural insights significant for speakers of English when interfacing with Hispanics in emergency rooms, hospitals, and various health care facilities.
