She decided to try it out as a topics course, first offered during the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2021. It enrolled 9 students for that intensive online synchronous course that was part of a trial Winter term. Now offered as SPAN 394 Spanish for Medical Purposes, it is a regular and popular offering in the department.\u00a0 SPAN 394 is a course aimed at heritage\/native Spanish speakers and Spanish majors interested in medical Spanish as well as Pre-Med students\/other medical professionals with intermediate-level Spanish knowledge. The main goal of the course is to learn specialized vocabulary (in Spanish) related to different medical fields so that students can use it in individual\/group class activities and oral (professional) presentations while honing their grammar and conversation skills. Students also read various articles that focus on socio-cultural aspects related to Hispanic communities, both in Spanish-speaking countries and in the US. This allows them to (a) learn about the main (medical) issues that affect those communities, (b) develop an understanding of cultural attitudes related to the treatment of Spanish-speaking patients and their relationship with their healthcare providers, and (c) use their newly acquired vocabulary in a contextualized way. Last but not least, students write on discussion boards to reflect critically\/share their opinions about the articles they read and link this content to the topics discussed in class. The course content provides the necessary tools to succeed professionally in a bilingual medical context.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Stottlemeyer (2024) a double major in Biomedical Sciences and Spanish, is taking Spanish 394 this spring semester.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I have been lobbying for this class to be offered since freshman year! As a Biomedical Sciences and Spanish major, I have learned the prevalence of Spanish-speaking patients and the importance of being able to communicate smoothly with those individuals. This class exposes people, especially science majors, to an entirely new domain of Spanish that will be extremely helpful in their future careers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hannah also participated in this year&#8217;s Medical Brigade trip to Panam\u00e1, as one of the student leaders of the UMW chapter that organized the trip from planning and fundraising, to implementation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This was UMW\u2019s 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0trip abroad to Panama to provide medical and dental care to underserved communities.
