Spanish In Healthcare

Spanish in Healthcare is a student organization dedicated to practicing medical Spanish and giving back to the Latino community. We hold monthly meetings where we practice medical Spanish terminology and discuss pertinent health issues in the Latinx and Black communities. With the growing number of native Spanish speakers in the US, the rapidly increasing language barriers within healthcare, and the national shortage of BIPOC physicians; SHC strives to overcome this language barrier and diversify the field of healthcare by teaching aspiring healthcare professionals medical Spanish terminology and thus improving health outcomes for Spanish-speaking and BIPOC patients & communities.
