Graduates of the program leave not only with proficiency in medical Spanish, but also with an understanding of the Hispanic culture and how that culture may affect healthcare practices and the delivery of health services.<\/p>\n<p>This certificate will enhance the credentials of individuals seeking a career in direct patient care such as doctor, nurse, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or physical therapist, or anyone who works with Spanish-speakers in a healthcare setting such as insurance providers or healthcare navigators.<\/p>\n<p>Hispanic and Latino groups are the largest minority group in the United States, and Spanish-speakers constitute the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population. In Milwaukee alone, Spanish-speakers make up almost 20% percent of the population (2020 Census). As these populations grow, so does the need for healthcare workers who can communicate with and advocate for Spanish-speaking patients.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the program gain expertise in the language of health care, in Spanish, including colloquial Spanish; an understanding of cultural differences that impact the delivery of health care services to Hispanic populations; and knowledge of the health care concerns of many different groups of Spanish-speakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Certificates are similar to minors in terms of credit requirements but draw on coursework from multiple fields of study rather than from a single department.<\/p>\n<h2>Eligibility<\/h2> <p>The Spanish for Health Professionals Certificate is open to all students seeking a bachelor\u2019s degree from 51ÁÔÆæ, to students who previously received a bachelor\u2019s degree from 51ÁÔÆæ or any other accredited college or university, and to individuals who do not plan to pursue a college or university degree (non-degree students) but who have a strong interest in this topic.\u00a0To be admitted as non-degree candidates, individuals must meet regular University admissions requirements. Students currently involved in baccalaureate studies who successfully complete the requirements of the program will be awarded the certificate at the time of graduation. Students who already have a bachelor\u2019s degree and non-degree students will receive the certificate upon completion of the program requirements.<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Undergraduate Certificate<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/undergrad-admission\/apply\/\" rel=\"\">Apply Now<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/world-languages-cultures\/students\/undergraduates\/spanish\/declare-certificate-spanish-health-professionals\/\" rel=\"\">Declare Your Certificate<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>\/**\/<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\"><hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-m-0\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80\">\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div id=\"details-main\" class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-tabs\" data-tabs-prefix-class=\"uwm-p-tabs\"><ul class=\"uwm-p-tablist\" data-hx=\"h2\"><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-spanish-health-professionals-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-spanish-health-professionals-advising\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Advising<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent\">\n<div id=\"tab-spanish-health-professionals-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<style>\ntable  {\n   font-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n}\n\t\n\n\t\n\th2, h3, h4 {\n\t\tfont-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n\t\t\n\t}\n\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none;
