In this series covering Spanish for COPD, we focus on patient education and practice a ton of useful vocabulary and phrases for the medical setting. In the clinical dialogues, you will hear a patient present to the pulmonologist for her first visit for COPD.
- First, the doctor then explains the diagnosis of COPD and how it differs from asthma.
- They then discuss the causes of COPD and the importance of smoking cessation.
- The doctor explains further evaluation with pulmonary function tests and screening for lung cancer.
- Finally, the doctor explains with oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation.
In the premium audio lessons, we review the key vocabulary and grammatical constructs as we practice interpreting each line of the clinical dialogues from English to Spanish.
