Spanish for Health Care Professionals Certificate (M)
In order to be of service in the Church and in the World, the Department of Multicultural Studies helps students gain communicative and cultural competence in order to reach out to those in other places.
This certificate will help students in their interactions with the diverse groups of patients they will come into contact with. The world now includes, domestically, daily interactions with Hispanic patients who often do not speak English or would prefer to communicate in Spanish. This certificate program is tailored to enhance our professional school students to be linguistically and culturally prepared to interact with Latinx patients who often do not speak English or would prefer to communicate in Spanish. Culturally, our students need to leave Concordia with empathy and a cultural competency that will enable them to interact with a diverse group of patients. This certificate program is tailored to enhance our professional school students to be linguistically and culturally prepared to interact with Latinx patients.
