TLC Offers Spanish Toolkit for Medical Personnel Training

Training Specialist Richard Ponce de Leon and Project Manager Genna Linton presented TLC’s “Spanish Toolkit for Medical Personnel” training for the second time at VUMC. The class was full with 50 participants and a waiting list.

This 4-hour training introduces the participants to aspects of Hispanic culture and key Spanish phrases that might be helpful as they interact with patients and families during the course of their day-to-day work. Better communication leads to better care and outcomes for patients.
