With a population that is becoming increasingly linguistically and culturally diverse, it is critical that academic institutions provide their scholars with the support and tools necessary to work effectively with language-minority patients. Recently, Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) — ranked 4th best nursing program in the country — worked with Canopy Innovations to strengthen its medical Spanish offering, enabling nursing students and broader community to better serve the native Spanish-speaking population that currently numbers 41 million in the United States. This more robust offering further promotes DUSON’s mission to foster a nursing community able to effectively address health disparities through improved communication with their limited English proficiency (LEP) patients.
