The goal of the unit is not only to build language skills and competencies, but also to enhance your ability to communicate with patients, peers, and other members of the multidisciplinary health-care team. The unit begins with both a knowledge and language review of basic anatomy and physiology. This is followed by an introduction to the language and processes used to identify, name, and describe the function of the system and the failures that may occur within it. The language of diagnostics and assessments related to respiratory system health and disease includes case studies and disease exemplars. Throughout each section, the focus is on improving communication through vocabulary acquisition and the use of grammar, structure, and form. The unit rounds itself out with exposure to and practice with the language of treatments, interventions, and assistance for patients challenged by respiratory illness or crisis.
