    Description
    This course will teach you the basic vocabulary and basic phrases needed to communicate directly with the Deaf/hard-of-hearing patient. This course will prepare healthcare professionals to provide basic communication skills in ASL to Deaf and hard of hearing patients in medical office settings and in hospitals. No prior knowledge of ASL necessary. Please note: this course does not replace the importance of qualified ASL Interpreters in the medical exam room/setting, instead this course is designed to help communication with Deaf and hard of hearing patients during standard procedures.
