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 you need to enhance patient-centered communication skills, increase your cultural competence, and make better clinical decisions in your practice.

- 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 you gauge and hone your 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.
