This highly interactive, specialist course, aims to provide the student with a sufficient level of Medical English terminology to help develop the communication skills required to converse with English speaking doctors and patients.

This condensed 20-hour, two-week afternoon course covers a broad range of topics which include:

• Medical vocabulary, terminology, and idioms
• Role-play
• Doctor - Patient relationships
• Understanding medical reports and case studies
• Medical abbreviations

Using study material from leading European Universities and medical institutes, this programme is carefully compiled from specialist medical resources, current case studies, topical reports and journals.

In order to apply for this course, students should already have a lower intermediate to intermediate knowledge of English. Students who do not have the necessary level of English are advised to enrol in an additional General English refresher course which they can attend each morning before the Medical English Course in the afternoon.

Elanguest was chosen by the European Union to head an international team of partners providing multimedia training tools for Medical English. These extensive resources are freely available to all our Medical English students at no extra cost.

The afternoon Medical English course can be taken as a stand alone course or, as already mentioned above, it can be combined with the General English programme.
