Its methodology takes advantage of both the simplicity of Spanish and its similarities with English to teach you the language as quickly as possible. The book is organized in three sections: sounds, words and sentences, that correspond to milestones. First it will teach you how to read and write in Spanish; then it will help you learn words efficiently; finally, it will show you how to build sentences and communicate. The goal is your communication with patients. The book will introduce the dialogue in order to understand symptoms, and convey diagnostics and medical instructions, such as referrals to specialists, prescriptions or procedures. Health care vocabulary is part of the textbook from chapter one. A phrasebook is included to show realistic sentences, following the standard stages of the provider visit: history, assessment and diagnosis, procedures, and follow up.
