It is the simple, direct and practical approach to learning Portuguese that made this book so popular.
Portuguese Health Care Dialogues: Conversations between Health Care Providers and Patients in Brazilian*Continental * Cape Verdean, like its first edition is designed for health professionals. This unique book is an excellent resource for health care providers that provides the basic tools to communicate with native Portuguese speakers in a medical setting. Students are expected to concentrate on learning what is important to their field of work. Knowing that health professionals have limited time in which to learn Portuguese, the authors formatted the text to allow students to develop or improve their verbal skills as quickly as possible. Consequently, rules of grammar are kept simple, direct and practical. This text can help doctors, nurses, dentists, technicians and health profession students become fluent in Portuguese and at the same time it can be used to teach Portuguese health professionals and students fluency in English.
Special features of the second edition are additional chapters on Assessment and Treatment of Patients with HIV, Bioterrorism. There are maps and the translations are provided in Brazilian, Continental and Cape Verdean. While Portuguese Health Care Dialogues: Conversations between health care providers and patients in Brazilian, Continental and Cape Verdean is not a substitution for medical interpretation, it is a valuable resource to better communication between health care providers and patients.
