Designed to help clinicians and clinicians-in-training improve their Spanish communication skills and build trust and empathy with patients, Dr. Pilar Ortega’s Spanish and the Medical Interview: A Textbook for Clinically Relevant Medical Spanish, 3rd Edition, addresses today’s growing demand for Spanish-speaking physicians and healthcare professionals. Focusing on communication needs in real-world clinical situations, this versatile resource provides basic Spanish skills, sample interview questions, relevant cultural information, social drivers of health, and more, in addition to videos of patient-physician interactions, interactive self-assessment tools, and clinical vignettes. This unique text delivers exactly what students need to enhance patient-centered communication skills, increase your cultural competence, and make better clinical decisions in their future practice.
    • Helps students understand the nuts and bolts of better communication through Spanish grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, sample interview questions, and helpful interview techniques
    • Goes beyond the basics to address specific clinical interactions, such as patient interviews, history taking, and physical exams
    • Reinforces learning in a logical sequence, with each chapter building on the previous one, aligned to the flow of a medical interview
    • Contains two new chapters on digital health and the sexual history as well as new content regarding caring for patients with disabilities, demonstrating empathy, and establishing trust; new telehealth scenarios; new vocabulary covering recent diseases; expanded coverage of cultural practices, gender-inclusive language, and social determinants of health
    • Covers how to best use interpreters in clinical practice, and includes new content on the appropriate integration of digital technologies and AI in multilingual healthcare settings
    • Includes interactive self-assessment tools and practice exercises that mimic real-life clinical situations to help students gauge and hone their health communication skills
    • Provides access to videos of real-time patient-physician exchanges, with and without Spanish subtitles, to help improve pronunciation and listening skills
    • Discusses cultural competence and humility as crucial elements of effective communication and building a rapport with patients to improve overall care
    • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook includes videos and allows access to all of the text and figures, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
