Customer Reviews

Great book, but basic Spanish skills necessary!

I thought that this book was very helpful in allowing me to speak with patients in Spanish, teaching me much of the health profession vocabulary that is neglected in most normal Spanish courses. However, it is NOT for someone just beginning to learn the Spanish language. It does not go into detail on basic information or words in Spanish, but offers a practical review of basic Spanish grammar and conjugations. That being said, I had 3 semsters of Spanish in college (almost 8 years ago), and felt that it gave me enough review, as well as greatly added to my Spanish vocabulary.

Excellent textbook for courses in medical Spanish

This is the best textbook that I have found for a course in Spanish for the Medical Professions. It's also an excellent book for anyone in the medical professions who already knows the basics of Spanish and wants to learn the kind of Spanish necessary to interact with his or her patients.
