NAMS MedCast's Podcast
Episodio 3 - Much Ado about POLOM
NAMS aims to formalize a plethora of projects to measure Spanish-language concordant care initiatives, and we’re very lucky that so many of the members of the NAMS National Board are happy and excited to share their work!
In our third episode, we chat with la Dra. Cristina Pérez-Cordón, a Language and Communications Specialist at the United Nations and founding member of NAMS, and with now Dr. Reniell Iñiguez, a first year Internal Medicine Resident at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University (4th year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Human Medicine at the time of recording).
Disclaimer: Dr. Pérez-Cordón’s participation in this podcast episode should be considered her own professional contribution and thoughts as an expert in her field and does not represent the United Nations’ views or sponsorships.
They elaborate on their work in language equity in healthcare and research through the implementation of the POLOM (Physician Oral Language Observation Matrix) tool, which offers an improved approach in the development of learning programs with a focus on Medical Spanish in medical education.
