DESCRIZIONE

In today’s world, healthcare personnel often operate in international settings in which English is the working language.
Medical English provides medical students and physicians with the language and communication skills, technical terms and common idiomatic expressions that they need in order to perform their professional duties effectively. Written by a physician with considerable experience in intercultural communication and in teaching technical English in Medical Schools, this book can easily be understood by readers with a B2 level of proficiency.
The multiplicity of challenges that foreign doctors face when they have to communicate in English and/or in a new cultural environment are addressed in a clear, informal style through a narrative approach that draws upon the author’s broad professional experience.
Medical notions that are familiar to readers in their own language are presented in English in real-world, everyday settings; the terms used –many of which are accompanied by phonetic transcriptions–are briefly explained in writing and in over 200 figures, photos, drawing and cartoons. Although this book is written in American English, the British spelling is specified whenever it differs from the U.S. standard.
More technical definitions are included in separate Reference Lists, while In Detail boxes deal with specific issues that need further explanation. Medical English is composed of two sections, Practicing Medicine and Specialty Areas, each of which is supplemented by a Self-Evaluation Test.
