Medical Spanish Longitudinal

Catalog description

The Medical Spanish Longitudinal Elective (MSLE) provides medical students with the opportunity to participate in sustained language practice and language learning activities relating to providing care to Spanish-speaking patients over the course of medical school. All students participating in the elective will first complete the Medical Spanish Course which counts as a foundation for the elective. Throughout the remaining time in the elective, students will engage in activities from a provided menu of approved Spanish-language activities relating to medical practice. Students may propose additional medical language activities for approval. Over the course of the elective, students will learn about and reflect on their role in increasing provider-patient language concordance to improve patient care.
