RIOS ASSOCIATES has been successfully presenting its Intensive Medical Spanish Language and Cultural Workshops for CME credit throughout the United States since 1983 for Doctors, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, LPNs and Medical Personnel. The Workshops and materials are expressly designed for the Health Care Professional. Ríos Associate courses, unlike the majority of the Medical Spanish courses offered today, are not merely conversational Spanish with a "Medical Component" consisting of some medical terms and vocabulary. Their courses are expressly and exclusively "Medical Spanish and Cultural Competency and Sensitivity Courses" whose materials are written and designed for the Health Care Professionals' immediate practical application with their patients.The program is presently sponsored by the University of Arizona, AzAHEC / Rural Health Office, and previously by the Public Health Service. Dr. Ríos initially created the program's precepts for the National Health Service Corps during the 1980s. It has steadily grown in development, while keeping abreast of the newest and latest medical discoveries and research, which are reviewed and constantly updated in the materials. This unique immersion training method is based upon the same concepts by which we learned our native tongue. Medical and general Vocabulary are introduced by visual association with the actual item, thus eliminating an entire and irrelevant translation step. Verbs are acted out rather than translated. Grammar terminology such as "indirect object pronoun" is essentially omitted; however the grammar is reinforced by constant repetition. Whenever necessary, grammar concepts are explained in a simple clear and concise manner. Each concept builds up on the previous one, allowing the student to understand how the language is structured while NOT simply memorizing phrases and questions. Thus, one can formulate and put together one's own questions, sentences and explanations for the patient. This is all done through the use of humor, games, role-plays and many group interactions which provide for a dynamic, exciting and supportive learning experience for healthcare professionals. Experience, strategically developed materials, as well as caring and innovative instructors MAKE THE DIFFERENCE A unique 4-day Intensive Medical Spanish Workshop has been developed from this system, which is now being offered in several major cities in the Southwest U.S., as well as 8 day Intensive Workshops held in La Paz, BCS, Mexico.
