This course will help audiologists expand their Spanish language skills to improve communication with their patients even if they continue to require the presence of a professional interpreter. This course concentrates on basic vocabulary surrounding the audiology office, audiology equipment, multidisciplinary teams, as well as describing the test and giving instructions to patients in order to complete a comprehensive hearing assessment. The course also includes basic cultural greeting norms and some phonetical tips to improve pronunciation. We are setting the foundations to bring language-concordant care to clinical encounters.
