New to the list of offerings is “Emergency Medical Spanish,” which will be taught by L&C Honors College and nursing student Maddie Clevenger.
I have fallen in love with nursing during my time in the program and I have been able to take my learning to another level through the Honors projects I have completed,” Clevenger said. “Designing this course has combined my love of nursing with my interest in learning about other cultures and languages, and forced me to think about nursing care in a different light.”
“Emergency Medical Spanish” will help participants learn basic conversational and medical Spanish, while covering tips and tricks for creating a rapport with patients who speak another language.
“I have taken four years of Spanish courses throughout high school and college,” Clevenger said. “My previous Honors projects have guided me in the direction of teaching, and I am excited to pursue this skill in conjunction with my passion of improving healthcare.”
The course is designed for nursing, paramedicine or EMT students and professionals, but anyone in the emergency medicine field could benefit. No prior experience in Spanish is necessary.
The offering will take place Mondays Sept. 9 through Oct. 28 from 5-6:30 p.m. on L&C’s Godfrey campus. The course fee is $50.
