While the teaching of language concordant care is a fundamental area of work in Medical Spanish, novel approaches to Education have to be considered as the field progresses further into the 21st century. This can even include novel areas of work like Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alyssia Miller De Rutté, Director of Languages for Specific Purposes as well as Assistant Professor of Spanish for Specific Purposes at Colorado State University. She also currently serves as the Vice President of the National Association of Medical Spanish (NAMS).

We had a chance to learn about her research which encompasses a range of topics in Spanish and Applied Linguistics with a focus on health and medicine and the use of VR and AI in teaching, and how many of these research projects related to the mission and goals of NAMS.
