This course meets the standards of a third year Native Speaker Spanish course while incorporating Health Science and Medical Technology (HSMT) themes, with a focus on the Public and Community Health Pathway.  Taught exclusively in the target language, this course begins with a focus on personal health, then broadens the context and scope to include family, community and public health, and health careers. Students acquire knowledge of a range of public health issues including physical, mental and social.  They apply their understanding of public policies to promote health-positive behaviors among individuals, families and the community. Through a range of real-world situations, students demonstrate understanding of culturally appropriate Spanish and the nuances of language across the Spanish-speaking world, as they engage in advanced listening, speaking, reading and writing activities.   Students use a full range of academic Spanish vocabulary, with emphasis on health terminology, in present, past, future, subjunctive and perfect tenses.
