Including Spanish language and cultural competency training into residency may help improve patient satisfaction and medication adherence with Spanish-speaking patients. This is the conclusion researchers have come to after two University of Arizona emergency medicine programs incorporated a medical Spanish and cultural competency curriculum into their didactics.
Over the course of a year, patients who self-identified as primarily Spanish-speaking were surveyed after visiting the emergency department. According to the surveys, residents spoke Spanish to 58% of these patients. About one-third of these patients rated their visit as very good.
