Para quem é direcionado este curso: This course has been designed for intermediate learners of Spanish as a foreign or as a second language. In other words, the students who already have some knowledge of general Spanish -whether from formal education or from informal exposure to the language- will get the most out of the course. However, you will still benefit from the course if you are only a beginner, already an advanced user, or even a heritage speaker of Spanish. A tip for students with a beginner level of Spanish: Because the materials and the video lessons are in Spanish, it is recommended that you turn on closed captioning or transcript option for the videos. We have also provided English transcripts in case you have trouble understanding some parts. If following the videos is still too challenging for you, we suggest that you take an introductory Spanish course first, and come back to try this course again. Beware! This course is not about medical content and does not intend to give advice on how to conduct any clinical-related activities. This course is about how language - Spanish, in particular - is used in the context of healthcare interactions. Because of this, you don’t need to have prior medical knowledge other than drawing on your own experience as a patient to pass the course. If you do have professional experience in healthcare, or are studying to become a health provider – it doesn’t matter what kind -, it will be to your advantage! Many of the course activities are designed to help you link your background with the content.
