DESCRIPTION:Full Immersion Medical Spanish Practicum!\n\nIn the health care field, 
 especially here in California, there are simply not enough Spanish 
 interpreters available to help health care professionals communicate with 
 their Latino patients. Many professionals are adept at picking up some 
 Spanish "on the job", but really need a chance to concentrate on learning 
 it properly, and away from the pressures of the work situation. WEEKEND en 
 español ®offers medical personnel total immersion, hands-on Spanish 
 language One-Day Workshops to help you acquire and sharpen your 
 communication skills with Latinos. \n\nOpen to people of ALL levels of 
 Spanish ability, our immersion medical events will put even beginning 
 speakers on the right track. We provide specific medical vocabulary and 
 insight for working with the Latino Community. \n\nThe ratio of students to 
 instructors is kept low to give you individual attention from our staff, 
 which includes Latinos working in various medical fields. Class size is 
 3-12 participants. You'll have a chance to role-play typical scenarios, as 
 well as ask specific questions particular to your circumstances. \n\nOur 
 courses are supplemented by a rich packet of materials that you will use 
 long after the event is over, for reference and further study. \n\nThese 
 courses have been designed by Ronda Calef, founder and director of WEEKEND 
 en español®, in conjunction with Barbara Newlin, nurse practitioner and 
 AIDS consultant for the World Health Organization, and Dr. Tomás Magaña, 
 1995 graduate of UCSF Medical School. \n\nMedical Spanish Workshop 
 \nGreetings, body parts and organs, symptoms & conditions, patient 
 interviewing, doing a physical exam, using medical instruments, giving 
 instructions, and some cultural sensitivity. We use lots of props and role 
 playing and also give you a hefty packet of materials to work with when 
 you're on your own. Some prior knowledge of Spanish is helpful, but we 
 encourage all health care professionals who work with the Latino community 
 to join us. \n\nWorkshops meet from 9 am to 5 pm\n$175 includes lunch and 
 materials \n$25 Continuing Education Hours for nurses \n\nAdvanced Medical 
 Practicum \nFor students who have been to one of our Medical Workshops or

 role-playing, and have new questions and challenges. \n\nWorkshops may be

 conclude at 5:00 pm. The $175 per workshop fee includes lunch and all 
 materials. An additional $25 per workshop will be charged for nurses
