Our Medical Spanish program gives future doctors the skills needed overcome the challenges a language barrier can present when communicating with a patient.
With a gift from the Batten Educational Achievement Fund of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation, EVMS established the Spanish Bilingual Clinician Certificate & Longitudinal Service Learning Program, incorporating curriculum recognized by the National Institutes of Health. Our aim is to increase the number of Spanish-speaking physicians in Hampton Roads.
Our medical and health professions students perform rotations with Spanish-speaking physicians, visit areas with Spanish-speaking populations and take part in a clinical Spanish immersion rotation for a capstone project.
