The University of Memphis presents the "Spanish for Healthcare" program, an initiative designed to bridge language barriers in healthcare. This course equips undergraduate students with the essential skills needed to communicate effectively in Spanish within medical settings. Learners in this program are proficient in medical terminology, patient interaction, and cultural sensitivity. They are prepared to apply their language skills to real-world healthcare scenarios, enhancing their critical thinking and communication abilities.

The aim is to integrate classroom knowledge with professional practice, ensuring that students are well-prepared for careers in the healthcare industry. They are trained to interpret clinical encounters, understand and use medical terminology, and develop cultural awareness regarding healthcare issues pertinent to the Hispanic community.

Employers can expect the following deliverables at the end of the collaboration:

• A comprehensive final report detailing the main findings and recommendations proposed by the students.
• A final presentation where learners will present the results of their projects and answer questions from the employer.
