Learn Medical Spanish

In the "Learn Medical Spanish" podcast, you'll learn specific, curated vocabulary to help you communicate with your Spanish-speaking patients more easily. This podcast is focused on healthcare providers or other medical professionals who want to improve their Spanish. My background is emergency medicine and family practice, but regardless of your medical specialty, you'll likely find some useful terminology that you can use on the job. I'll cover medical Spanish dialogues, medical Spanish terminology / vocabulary, Spanish anatomy, and more. Hope it helps!

Great way to review medical terms

I speak Spanish but needed a review of medical terminology and this was quick and easy!
abaldiz

Thank you

So far love this podcast. Spoke Spanish growing up but not enough to actually be able to translate complicated medical situations. Plus when starting to look for information it can be somewhat overwhelming 😭 either can you please do spine edition similar to the nuero section and an orthopedic section too.

Organized

I found this very helpful. The podcast allows for repetitive auditory practice and great for commutes. YouTube channel and transcripts are great for visualization and spelling.

Grammar?

Not by a native speaker and he doesn’t use correct grammar.
