Dr. Michael Chen

Emergency Physician, Toronto

★★★★★ March 2024

As an ER doctor in a diverse urban area, I needed to improve my Spanish skills quickly. This program was exactly what I needed - focused specifically on medical terminology and emergency situations. The role-playing scenarios were particularly valuable, as they simulated real emergency department encounters. Within days of completing the program, I was able to communicate more effectively with Spanish-speaking patients, which has significantly improved patient care and satisfaction. The reference materials continue to be useful in my daily practice.

Sarah Johnson, RN

Pediatric Nurse, Chicago

★★★★★ February 2024

I took the Pediatrics specialty focus, and it was incredibly valuable for my work. Learning how to communicate with both Spanish-speaking children and their parents has made a tremendous difference in the quality of care I can provide. The instructors were knowledgeable about both the language and healthcare delivery, which made the program especially relevant. The cultural competency component helped me understand family dynamics and health beliefs that impact pediatric care. Highly recommend!

Pharmacist, Los Angeles

★★★★☆ January 2024

As a pharmacist in an area with many Spanish-speaking patients, this course has been invaluable. The medication counseling sections and dosage instruction terminology were directly applicable to my daily work. I would have appreciated more pharmacy-specific content, but the general medical Spanish foundation was excellent. The patient education materials in Spanish have been particularly useful for ensuring medication adherence among my Spanish-speaking patients.
