The responsibility to provide language concordant care does not fall solely on the shoulders of physicians, as modern healthcare entails the collaboration of many different medical disciplines and professionals with different areas of expertise and training. Pharmacists play a key role in patient communication, medication management, and in maintaining trust, so it is very important that they are also trained to provide their care and specialty in an appropriate manner.

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Robert Mueller, PharmD, BCPS, an Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy, as well as one of the Board members of the National Association of Medical Spanish (NAMS).

We learn about his professional journey and the interweaving of medical Spanish into his chosen career path, as well as a number of his many projects and responsibilities as an Ambulatory Care Pharmacist within a Family Medicine Clinic, his faculty role in teaching a Medical Spanish courses for pharmacy students, and as the founder of the Medical Spanish for Pharmacy Education Connect Community.
