Canopy Quest vs Rogers Dictionary

Canopy Quest helps healthcare providers learn medical Spanish (and soon, other languages!), so they can better communicate with their limited-English speaking patients. Based on real clinical scenarios, you play the role of a doctor performing a medical consultation in Spanish. A series of interactive role-play activities will allow you to practice your listening, reading, writing, speaking and vocabulary skills.

High praise from a medical Spanish professional: “This bilingual medical dictionary is the most comprehensive and extensive I have encountered in my 40 years of teaching and authoring Medical Spanish textbooks. It incorporates all the latest terms, and all possible translations for each term, as well as variations from country to country. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would enthusiastically give it an 11!” —Joanna Ríos, PhD
