Influenza

Influenza

Influenza is an acute, highly communicable viral disease that affects the respiratory tract and is responsible for seasonal epidemics worldwide. Influenza A is the most prevalent type associated with widespread outbreaks and is subtyped based on two surface glycoproteins: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), as in H1N1. These glycoproteins are essential for viral infectivity, transmission, and immune recognition. Transmission occurs primarily through respiratory droplets and contaminated...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Linguistic Competency in Healthcare
Cultural Competency

Background:

Language discordance in healthcare presents challenges for Mandarin-speaking populations.
Patients report higher satisfaction and trust with language-concordant providers.
A shortage of Mandarin-speaking primary care physicians exists in California.

Purpose of the Study:

To implement and evaluate a medical Mandarin summer course for fluent Mandarin-speaking medical students.
To assess the impact of the course on students' language confidence and competence.

Main Methods:

A flipped classroom model was used for a three-session summer course.
Sessions focused on medical history, symptomatology, and conditions, utilizing interactive Zoom classes and breakout rooms.
Pre- and post-course evaluations measured language confidence (Likert scale) and competence (terminology exam).

Main Results:

Seventeen students participated in the pilot course.
Significant increases were observed in students' comfort taking medical histories in Mandarin (p = .001) and cultural competency (p = .05).
Post-course terminology exam scores also showed significant improvement (p = .01).

Conclusions:

Medical language training can enhance the healthcare workforce's linguistic competence.
This pilot program offers a feasible model for training language-concordant physicians.
Replicating such programs can improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes.
