Because the instructor of this class does not have a medical background, you can expect to know more about medical matters, anatomy and physiology and treatments than your instructor does. However, you will enjoy discussing US medical terminology and situations as points of comparison. Although Medical English is not an introductory medical course, it is appropriate for those who plan to study medicine in the future.

Although this course teaches the vocabulary and terminology of Medical English, in our multicultural world, this is, of course, not enough. A key aspect of this course is knowing how to use this new vocabulary as part of your overall English skills in various environments. Medical professionals find themselves in a wide range of situations across cultures, each of which presents itself with important linguistic and stylistic differences.

It is important that you are able to present yourself and be understood in a wide variety of settings from helping patients to attending lectures and conferences - and their associated social events. It is equally important to know how to use Medical English and how to use your general English so that you present not only as competent in your specialized field, but also sensitive to the particular professional environment that you find yourself in.

This course has two sections. It does not matter which section you take first. Topics covered include:

The Healthcare System in the United States

Various Healthcare Systems around the World
