Publisher's Summary

This seven unit course enables healthcare professionals, with no prior Russian experience, to learn specific vocabulary for medical terminology and communication. Russian, one of the most influential languages globally, holds a prominent place in both history and modern society. Originating from the East Slavic family of languages, Russian is the native tongue of over 150 million people and serves as a second language to millions more across the former Soviet states and around the world. It is not only the official language of Russia but also holds official or minority language status in several other countries. In the United States, the Russian-speaking community represents a significant and growing demographic, particularly in urban centers where healthcare needs are diverse and complex.

For healthcare professionals, the ability to communicate effectively with Russian-speaking patients and their families is increasingly important. The nuances of medical terminology and the precision required in healthcare communication make language proficiency a critical skill. Russian-speaking patients, especially those who are elderly or have limited English proficiency, may struggle to fully convey their symptoms, understand diagnoses, or follow treatment plans without language support. This can lead to confusion, anxiety, and even serious health risks if important information is lost in translation.

Learning key medical phrases and terminology in Russian can greatly improve the quality of care provided to these patients. It fosters trust, reduces the potential for misunderstandings, and ensures that patients feel valued and respected. Being able to explain procedures, medications, and diagnoses in a patient’s native language can lead to more accurate assessments and better health outcomes. Additionally, this ability helps in creating a more comfortable environment for patients and their families, who may feel more at ease when healthcare providers can communicate in Russian.
