Learning on the go

The goal of this newsletter is to provide you with enough information to be useful, but not more than can be learned within the busy schedule of a health care worker. You’ll find anatomy charts, medical Spanish vocabulary, occasional feedback from subscribers, and more!

Dr. Pedro Lizardo has offered some of the common sayings he has encountered as a physician and resident of several Latin American countries. We will have a bilingual anatomy chart in the next issue.
