Canopy for Individuals

The #1 online medical Spanish course in the US that prepares you for patient interactions

CanopyLearn is the #1 medical Spanish course in the US. With over 40 hours of instructional content spread over three target proficiency levels and 36 lessons, it is the most comprehensive self-paced e-learning platform of its kind. The engaging and bite-sized modules are crafted specifically for clinicians and staff and employ a proven learning-by-speaking methodology. With role-play exercises, a telenovela series, and more, users experience multiple learning modalities that makes acquiring language fluency more engaging, effective and rewarding.

Learn, practice, and apply your medical language skills in real patient-clinician scenarios

CanopySpeak is a mobile Clinical Communication Support Tool that takes a 2-in-1 approach to empower providers to deliver compassionate, timely, and specialized care for the most vulnerable patients (when they need it most).

The CanopySpeak iOS app offers a Clinical Mode to support routine communication where involving an interpreter may not be practical, and a Provider Learning Mode to help clinical and non-clinical staff advance towards becoming fluent in speaking the phrases that they frequently use.

Empower yourself by demonstrating your language skills so that you can advocate for yourself and your patients as a bilingual provider

CanopyCredential is the only scenario-based medical proficiency assessment that was specifically designed to align with ACA Section 1557. Employing a simulated oral proficiency interview (SOPI) approach and developed by a team of linguists and psychometricians, CanopyCredential enables clinicians to demonstrate that they can effectively, accurately, and impartially communicate in a non-English language through spoken language skills and in real-life patient scenarios.

CanopyCredential provides meaningful feedback for exam-takers, giving them the scaffolding to climb the proficiency scale for continuous improvement. Even if someone has not achieved qualified bilingual staff (QBS) status, the CanopyCredential Scorecard offers a nuanced breakdown of your proficiency in the form of ‘can do’ statements so that you are mindful of your strengths and limitations when interacting with patients with limited English proficiency.
