(SP 6070)

The purpose of this course is to provide students with the ability to overcome cross-cultural barriers in a medical setting and to communicate effectively with speakers of Spanish. Background information on Hispanic cultures (e.g. customs, conceptions of the role of health care providers and courtesy) as well as some medical terminology will be provided. Issues raised by the differences in conceptions of the role of doctors, medicine and health care will be addressed. The graduate course SP 6070 requires independent accelerated additional work appropriate for master’s level study.
