In a recent press release, the University of Kentucky College of Medicine announced that all faculty, staff, learners, and trainees now have free, full access to CanopyLearn, the #1 medical Spanish course in the US, to boost language proficiency. 

The project highlights the high level of collaboration at Kentucky, as the joint efforts of the Northern Kentucky campus associate dean, Holly Danneman, MD and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion resulted in the delivery of the program to the entire College of Medicine. 

Vice dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion, Na'Tasha Evans celebrated the partnership: “We are excited to offer CanopyLearn as a resource to enhance the working and learning experience for our faculty, staff, learners, and trainees...Our faculty and staff interact with diverse patients, and we hope this will help make them more equipped to pursue careers promoting inclusive and equitable health care and research.”

She continued: “By participating in this course, our learners, trainees, physicians, researchers, and staff will take an important step in making the health care environment more inclusive for Kentucky patients and beyond...We must prioritize inclusivity and accessibility in health care. I'm excited to see this course's positive impact on the College of Medicine and those we serve.”

Canopy is proud to serve clients and partners such as the UK College of Medicine in our joint efforts to end the language barrier in healthcare.
