Español conversacional para profesiones médicas: Manual de actividades - 3rd edition

Overview

For health practitioners in many regions of the United States, advanced proficiency in Spanish is crucial to providing appropriate health care. Rudimentary skills are inadequate and potentially dangerous. This third edition of Español conversacional para profesiones médicas: Manual de actividades provides a step towards advanced competence through communicative practice that helps Spanish learners use medical vocabulary and apply grammar in context.

Unlike traditional textbooks, this manual focuses on oral proficiency through practical role-plays and activities that have been classroom tested for fourth-semester Spanish. The text is particularly useful for intermediate-level medical Spanish courses, whether in undergraduate, professional or medical schools, residency programs, or continuing education.
