Enhancing Culturally Sensitive Curriculum in an Osteopathic Medical School.

Considering changing demographics in the United States, future physicians need exposure to specialized training ensuring effective communication with non-native English-speaking patients, particularly Spanish-speaking patients. We examine the impact of a medical Spanish terminology module on the linguistic competence of second-year osteopathic medical students participating in Kansas City University's Score 1 for Health program. Our goal is to enhance Spanish communication in clinical settings and to improving the quality and value of care delivered to patients. Copyright 2019 by the Missouri State Medical Association.
