April 6: New medical themed Spanish conversation hour

World Languages and Cultures is pleased to introduce a new Spanish language hour for people interested in medical and health words and phrases. This new themed hour is offered on Fridays from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in Meredith Hall, Room 202.

The medical conversation hour is designed for students, faculty, and staff who volunteer in health or medical settings, or work with populations who have health concerns, or are interested in adding depth to their language skills. Facilitated by a Spanish native speaker, conversations will be guided to topics related to health and well-being.

As with all Spanish conversation hours, all levels of Spanish speakers are welcome. The group supports all participants with an opportunity to practice Spanish and no long-term commitment is required to attend. For more information, contact Assistant Professor Inbal Mazar at Inbal.Mazar@drake.edu.
