A growing number of Liaison Committee on Medical Education-accredited allopathic medical schools offer formal bilingual (English and Spanish) medical education, and numerous other schools offer medical Spanish through elective workshops as part of their curricula. One significant health disparity in the Hispanic community is the incidence of HIV among Spanish-speaking men who have sex with men (MSM). Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has emerged as an effective strategy to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
We developed an education module to train clinicians to discuss PrEP with Spanish-speaking MSM. Our module is adapted from an English module on PrEP education. It includes a Spanish-language PowerPoint slide deck with information about PrEP as well as a Spanish-language videotaped scripted clinical encounter.
The module was implemented on three occasions with 18 participants, and learners reported increased comfort in discussing and confidence in prescribing PrEP with Spanish-speaking patients.
This workshop can be incorporated within medical Spanish curriculums offered at health professional schools and community-based organizations dedicated to reducing the HIV burden in the Spanish-speaking Hispanic community.
越来越多的获得医学教育联络委员会认证的全医学院提供正式的双语（英语和西班牙语）医学教育，许多其他学校也通过选修研讨会提供医学西班牙语课程，作为其课程的一部分。西班牙裔社区中一个显著的健康差异是说西班牙语的男男性行为者（MSM）中 HIV 的发病率。暴露前预防（PrEP）已成为减少 HIV 传播风险的有效策略。
我们开发了一个教育模块，以培训临床医生与讲西班牙语的 MSM 讨论 PrEP。我们的模块改编自 PrEP 教育的英文模块。它包括一个西班牙语幻灯片演示文稿，其中包含有关 PrEP 的信息，以及一个西班牙语录制的脚本临床相遇视频。
该模块已在三个场合实施，有 18 名参与者，学习者报告说，他们在与讲西班牙语的患者讨论和开具 PrEP 处方方面更加舒适和自信。
这个研讨会可以纳入健康专业学校和专门致力于减少西班牙语裔西班牙裔社区 HIV 负担的社区组织提供的医学西班牙语课程中。
