"I absolutely think that this course should be required in medical schools and for residents with a background in Spanish."—Marschall Runge, MD, Chair, Department of Internal Medicine, UNC School of Medicine
"I absolutely love this course! It combines written, grammatical and verbal skills in a fun format. A public health practitioner and student, I work with HIV+ Spanish speaking patients in a clinical setting and often have to discuss complicated social and clinical issues with them. . . . A Su Salud has been incredibly helpful. . . . The course is so interactive and hands-on, that I sometime forget we have a virtual classroom! I cannot begin to explain how I have benefited from this course, and how I hope my patients will also benefit.”—Danielle Haley, public health student
"The DVD helps me to understand things that I would never consider culturally specific (such as the use of a scale to measure pain).” —Kathy Colville, social work student
"I enjoy having the course based on a DVD telenovela based around a health clinic because it certainly makes the learning more interesting. The flexibility of the course is a real positive as well.” —David Tayloe, medical student
