Program Description 

Our new Medical Spanish Minor or Medical Spanish Certificate provides healthcare professionals with a much-needed Medical Spanish stackable credential that will serve them to communicate in Spanish with their existing and future patients as well as augment their professional skills.

The Medical Spanish Certification and Minor programs consist of a combination of Badges that will result in the completion of a Medical Spanish Minor or the equivalent of 4 Badges (12 credit hours), or a Medical Spanish Certificate that will result in the completion of 5 Badges (15 credit hours). Each badge will be worth 3 credit hours and can only be taken at Rockhurst University. Undergraduate students will decide which one of the two options they would like to pursue before they graduate.

Learning Outcomes 

After taking this sequence of Medical Spanish courses, students will be able to:

  • Gain a working level knowledge of basic and medical Spanish for nurses and healthcare professionals. This includes general and medical vocabulary, and verb conjugation for use in a clinical setting
  • Learn and practice the technical language of medicine in Spanish and conduct conversations in the Latinx culture
  • Improve oral proficiency in Spanish needed in medicine
  • Practice patient and practitioner interactions in different medical settings
  • Gain knowledge about Hispanic cultures and the role of healthcare providers within those cultures
