Who are we?

Project E.A.C.H. stands for Enhancing Arab Communication in Health. This project aims to provide students and healthcare professionals with the opportunity to learn and practice common medical phrases and terminology in Arabic. Our website includes various courses, each focusing on a different aspect of health. Our intent is to provide a simple, creative, and accessible platform for users to learn medical terminology in Arabic.

Purpose

Cultural competence is a crucial aspect of healthcare. It is important we provide pre-health students, as well as health professionals with opportunities to learn more about others’ culture. This includes learning other languages, and/or increasing the number of medical interpreters in healthcare settings. Although this learning platform does not directly increase the number of medical interpreters in healthcare, it does provide individuals with the platform to learn Arabic medical terminology to pursue a medical interpretation certification if they choose to do so.
