For those health professionals who want to be able to operate fluently in Spanish in their chosen area, the Professional Medical Spanish Program is the ideal course of online study. Because it is a dedicated and intensive course we only offer it to those who already have a reasonable interemediate level of Spanish.

This course has 80 hours of live classes that can be fitted around your schedule. We recommend 2-hour classes two or three times a week to be able to maintain a good level of immersion in the materials. In addition your teacher will offer you a wealth of extra materials that you can use to study on your own. These include written and spoken dialogs and videos, charts, peer-reviewed articles, and interesting web sites with relevant materials to your professional area.

Students whose Spanish level is more basic are recommended to take our Introductory Medical panish Program. This consists of up to 3 modules of 20 hours of classes each, and combines regular Spanish learning with an emphasis on medical terminology, vocabulary and usage. Click here for more information.

As a med student and an intern in a busy inner-city emergency room it has been vital for me to understand quickly what new arrivals are saying as nearly half of them are hispanic. The professional program was hard but excellent and now I feel much more confident in dealing with Spanish-speaking patients. Other staff ask me to help them out sometimes which is very satisfying!

All the teachers who teach the Professional Medical Spanish Program have taken a training course to be able to offer these classes.

The first step is to sign up for a free trial Spanish class. There is no obligation on your part to continue studying, but it will offer you the opportunity to experience learning Spanish online. You will be able to discuss your needs with your teacher and decide what your next steps in learning Spanish will be!
