In Their Own Words

Spanish and the Medical Interview is the only medical Spanish textbook written for physicians, medical students, and other advanced medical practitioners. After a review of the basics of Spanish pronunciation, grammar, and conversation, Spanish and the Medical Interview guides the reader, or the class, stepwise through a comprehensive patient interview and examination. As a whole, the book is structured as an interview guide, and vocabulary is reviewed by organ system, paralleling standard medical clinical skills education. Each key concept is reinforced by illustrations, cultural notes, sample dialogues, comprehension questions, and simulated patient-doctor encounters on the enclosed DVD. The book's unique and concise approach makes it intuitive to learn medical Spanish!
