Because these courses are taught in English (may include basic Spanish expressions), they are particularly suitable for students who have never studied a foreign language. (

SPAN 1130Introductory Medical Spanish (MnTC 06, 08)3
3 hours lecture/week - Common Course Outline The unique circumstances for health care workers in providing effective treatment can often be difficult due to communication barriers. This course provides a basic background in conversational Spanish to allow medical health care personnel to improve communication with their Spanish-speaking patients. Although students will be advised on how to work with an interpreter, this beginning course does not train the health care professional to assume the role of an interpreter. Students that have completed one year of high school Spanish should contact the instructor regarding permission to enroll. (
