Medical Spanish prepares future clinicians to work safely with patients in Spanish without the assistance of an interpreter, developing students’ intercultural competence as well as their understanding of specific health issues pertaining to Latino populations. This Spanish track is targeted toward students from Biology, Chemistry, Nursing, and Social Work programs, all of which serve high populations.

For any questions regarding the minor, please reach out to the program director, Dr. Lora Looney.
