Description
If you’re a health care professional, this self-teaching course will help you communicate with patients whose only language is Spanish. Even if you can’t speak any Spanish at all, you’ll learn the words and phrases you need to know, and you’ll quickly discover how to use them in practical situations.

True-to-life dramatized situations focus on a fictional Spanish-speaking family who must speak with medical personnel as they deal with hospital admission, ask and answer questions about their symptoms and handle typical documentation procedures.

The word and phrase finders make this a great reference.
