Learn Medical Spanish
Ben Tanner, PA-C
Show overview
Learn Medical Spanish has been publishing since 2021, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 60 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 10 min and 15 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 26 episodes published. Published by Ben Tanner, PA-C.
From the publisher
In the "Learn Medical Spanish" podcast, you'll learn specific, curated vocabulary to help you communicate with your Spanish-speaking patients more easily. This podcast is focused on healthcare providers or other medical professionals who want to improve their Spanish. My background is emergency medicine and family practice, but regardless of your medical specialty, you'll likely find some useful terminology that you can use on the job. I'll cover medical Spanish dialogues, medical Spanish terminology / vocabulary, Spanish anatomy, and more. Hope it helps!
