  • "This book and CD-ROM complemented each other to provide an excellent learning experience for a non-Spanish speaking provider. This was simple, easy to follow and learn, and provided a basic form of communication with patients who speak Spanish."

    "What a great book to use in a Continuing Education context.  Spanish for EMS is very well written and is organized in a way that makes it easy to use as a self study aide."
