Are you asking where speaking Arabic is beneficial in the Chicago area or were you just describing yourself?

The US Army.

Define "many." But likely very few hospital receive a large number of Arabic sepaking patients. Polish, Russian and Spanish speaking patients are all likley more prevalent.

I'm not sure your ability to speak Arabic is going to be a big selling point.

While not in the Chicago area. Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota has a ton of Arabic speaking patients. As a student there I worked with several patients who utilized interpreters and it was the most called for language at their translation center. There is a lot of Heath tourism from the Middle East; whole families will come for care for up to several months at a time including therapy.

Thanks what makes you say that?

We just have a lot of families that fly in from arabic speaking countries for their kid's treatments and/or therapy. Unfortunately virtually every PT has to rely on a translator.

Jeez thats something to def think about.
Have you ever worked there or done a clinical there? If so, do they offer room and board like a place to live?
