There are several compelling reasons to learn Spanish as a second language. Enriching academic training, globalizing oneself, and using the language to strengthen one’s resume are some of them. But when we talk about medicine, these arguments become more relevant. The North American context is a crucial example. Consider the following data: “As of July 1, 2024, the Hispanic population in the United States reached 68 million, representing 20% of the total population and remaining the nation’s largest racial or ethnic minority.” (US Census Bureau, 2025). This makes Spanish a powerful tool in the medical field, capable of making the difference between good service and excellent service.
This is a very intensive medical Spanish course that focuses on providing skills for interaction between the health professional and the patient. Non-Spanish, beginner, intermediate, or advanced level students are welcome.
We work in small groups so we can attend to personal interests. Our experience of more than 25 years teaching medical Spanish is an appreciable strength. Very well-qualified instructors conduct the process with our original materials.
