Have you faced these challenges?

You feel uncertain about medical history

A patient is giving you their medical history, but you only catch part of what they’re saying because they don’t speak English. Key details might get lost, and you’re not sure if you have the full picture.

Gain confidence and never miss key details in your conversations.

We can help you build the skills to gather accurate patient histories in Spanish with essential vocabulary, listening exercises, and role-play practice.

You are unclear about symptoms​

A Spanish-speaking patient describes symptoms, but you struggle to understand whether they’re talking about pain, fatigue, or discomfort because the words don’t match up, or you’re relying on basic phrases.

Stop second-guessing

With our comprehensive guide to symptoms, listening practice, and interactive exercises, you'll confidently understand and assess patient concerns.

You're not familiar with medications in Spanish

A patient brings in a list of medications, but you can’t understand the medications they’re taking. You end up missing key medications that could interact with other treatments.

Avoid mistakes with medication names

Avoid medication errors with focused lessons on common prescriptions. Learn key terms and build accuracy through interactive practice to prescribe confidently.
