Program Description
Our new Medical Spanish Minor or Medical Spanish Certificate provides healthcare professionals with a much-needed Medical Spanish stackable credential that will serve them to communicate in Spanish with their existing and future patients as well as augment their professional skills.
The Medical Spanish Certification and Minor programs consist of a combination of Badges that will result in the completion of a Medical Spanish Minor or the equivalent of 4 Badges (12 credit hours), or a Medical Spanish Certificate that will result in the completion of 5 Badges (15 credit hours). Each badge will be worth 3 credit hours and can only be taken at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø. Undergraduate students will decide which one of the two options they would like to pursue before they graduate.
Note: A graduate certificate in Medical Spanish is also available. More information coming soon. Email graduate@rockhurst.edu for details.Â
