How to Put into Practice Your New Vocabulary for Doctors

You might want to put into practice your new Spanish vocabulary for doctors before using it with real patients. This way you can be sure you’re applying it the right way. Of course, the best method to learn is through real life experience, but there are ways to practice before, so you can feel more confident. Here are some ideas:

 

Read!

As a doctor you probably already have to read a lot. Many papers of different medical things, from anatomy books to history of medicine to new investigations on a disease. Whatever it is, reading is essential both for medicine and for vocabulary practice. Thanks to reading you’ll know how to use the words and phrases correctly, at the right moment.

Now, though you can learn a lot of Spanish vocabulary through reading any book, it’s not that common to learn medical words. You might learn common words related to doctors in a novel, like “disease”, “health”, “hospital”, and “doctor”.

But it’ll be more difficult to find more specific medical jargon. For this, we’d recommend you read medical papers in Spanish. For example: You can search for a new Spanish investigation on a disease you treat in your specialty. This way, you’ll be learning about medicine, while acquiring vocabulary in Spanish for your job.

You can also look up your favorite anatomy book in its Spanish version. So you read something you already know, but you’ll be reading it in a new language. This will make the process of learning easier. It’s an especially good method for beginners.

 

Act out the vocabulary

You can ask fellow bilingual doctors to act a medical scene with you using the vocabulary above. For example: He/she can be the patient, and you can be the doctor. He/she can use the symptoms of any injury or disease and describe it to you in Spanish. You can answer or ask questions using the words we just taught you.

Be sure you act out the whole scene, from the moment the patient arrives to the moment you dismiss him/her. So you can practice the whole scenario that could happen to you with a real Hispanic patient.

Then, practice the other way around. You can be the patient, and your friend or colleague can be the doctor. This way, both of you practice Spanish words and phrases for doctors.

 

Discuss medicine

If you’re too shy to act out a medical scene, you can always discuss medicine in Spanish with colleagues. As a doctor, you probably already discuss medicine with other doctors and researchers.

Maybe you talk about a new disease or a new cure; maybe about a patient’s case to ask for another professional’s opinion, or maybe about why you chose your specialty. Whatever it is, discussions about medicine are important and you use a lot of jargon while doing that.

That means that if you encourage these discussions in Spanish, you’ll learn and use a lot of medical jargon in Spanish.

You can simply ask a Hispanic colleague, or a fellow doctor that’s also learning the language, to speak with you. They’ll probably love to do it, as they’ll also benefit from that. Bilingualism is great for everyone!

 

Enroll yourself in Spanish lessons

This is a very important one. Though you can learn a lot from our blogs and free resources on the internet, such as YouTube videos, that won’t teach you everything. It will especially not force you to speak using your new vocabulary.

Classes are always important. A teacher will give you more vocabulary and perception of the language; he/she will teach you all areas of it. And he or she will also guide you through the whole process.

So, if you make a mistake your teacher can correct you. More importantly, your teacher can also make sure you speak in Spanish using your new vocabulary every lesson, so you become fluent.

Believe it or not, languages are also important in the world of medicine. If you’re bilingual, it’ll give you an extra advantage as a healthcare provider. So, if you’re looking for a language to learn for medicine, we believe Spanish is the one. Think about it: It’s one of the most spoken languages in the world. And there are many Hispanic immigrants around the globe.

If you’re a nurse, this is especially perfect for you. Because you have to deal with different kinds of people throughout your shift, from doctors to patients to family. Some of them might be Spanish-speaking people. So if you know even the basics of the language, it’ll be a huge help for everyone.

To help you out, here’s some essential Spanish vocabulary for nurses.

Reasons Spanish is Important for Nurses

High number of Hispanic people abroad

One of the groups of people that immigrate the most is the Hispanic one. Just in 2022 there were 63.7 million Hispanics in the United States. That number keeps increasing through the years. And now Hispanic is considered the biggest group of immigrants in this country. Of course, the U.S. is not the only country with Spanish speaking immigrants.

Let’s not forget about tourism. You might find someone that doesn’t live in your country, but it’s visiting and it’s in need of a nurse or a doctor.
This means that wherever you work, you may encounter a Spanish speaking patient. So, it’s better if you’re prepared for it.

 

Improves communication

The healthcare industry is huge and one that all of us need. After all, we’re all exposed to getting injured or sick. This means that nurses will eventually have to take care of a foreigner, maybe a Hispanic person. Especially considering that Spanish is one of the languages with more speakers. Who knows? Maybe you’ve already faced this situation more than once.

Knowing your patient’s first language will make it easier for communication. They’ll be able to speak their mother tongue, so you can fully understand their symptoms. You can see how this will also benefit medicine. Language nuances can be tricky, so if you know Spanish, there are less chances of confusion. Which means a better treatment.

 

Your patients will feel more comfortable

More times than not, speaking in our mother tongue comes easier and makes us feel more comfortable than speaking in our second language. This can be key for vulnerable situations, like when we speak about our feelings or about symptoms we may be experiencing.

So, your patients may feel more comfortable speaking about what’s going on if they do it in their native language. They’ll probably have more fluency and have more vocabulary to explain everything in detail.

You’ll be a super nurse if you allow them to speak in their beloved Spanish language.

 

Makes you look good

Hey, the benefits of learning Spanish as a nurse aren’t just for your patients. You’ll become a better nurse and that will be loved by the patients.

Because they will feel comfortable talking to you, as they can do it in their native language. They’ll also feel like you care a lot about them, their well-being, and comfort since you took the effort of learning a second language.

Want more? Having bilingual skills, especially for such a necessary language in today’s globalized world, will enhance your resume. All industries are in need of bilingual or even polyglot employees nowadays. So, you’ll be a great contender.

Spanish Words for Nurses

Like all work industries, medicine also has its own jargon. And since there are many areas of the medical field, there are thousands of different words you could use in this industry.

Nursing is one of those highly important jobs in this business. And they also use their own words to talk and to refer to things. Some of these words are used almost daily. That’s why we thought it important to show you some of these major words that nurses use in Spanish.

You’ll notice that in parenthesis we added the pronunciation based on the Span¡shD!ctionary. So, you have everything to practice. Now go impress everyone in the hospital with your new Spanish vocabulary for nurses.
