SPAN 207 is the first of two advanced medical Spanish courses required for the Spanish for Healthcare Certificate. With their broad coverage of health and care, SPAN 207 and SPAN 208 are also open to any student wishing to develop a working knowledge of the language for medical and social work settings.

Students gain insight into how Hispanic cultures perceive health, illness, and wellbeing and how they respond to symptoms and treatments. Note: SPAN 207 and SPAN 208 are not sequential and may be taken in either order, though it is recommended that 207 be taken first.
