From the Back Cover

Master basic medical Spanish so you can give your Spanish-speaking patients the best care possible

As a dedicated medical professional, you know that clear communication is a cornerstone of the healer's art. That's why in an America where nearly one in ten patients speaks Spanish, it is vitally important that every medical professional has at least rudimentary Spanish-language skills.

Written by a twenty-year veteran Spanish instructor who teaches at a major university, it coaches you in all four language skills--reading, writing, speaking, and listening--and is ideal for beginners with no prior Spanish language experience, as well as those looking to brush up on their high school or college Spanish.
