Medical English

Combine English learning with medical vocabulary and practice. Students role-play doctor-patient interactions, study case scenarios, and build confidence using English in medical contexts.

The Medical English programme is designed for students interested in healthcare and medical fields. It combines English language learning with specialised medical vocabulary and communication practice, preparing participants to use English in academic or professional medical contexts.

Students practise through interactive activities such as role-playing doctor-patient interactions, medical simulations, and case studies. They also develop skills in understanding medical texts, writing patient notes, and discussing healthcare topics in English.

A highlight of the programme is a visit to a local healthcare-related institution, giving students valuable insight into professional practices and the use of medical English in real-world settings.

By the end of the programme, participants will have improved their English proficiency, expanded their medical vocabulary, and gained confidence in applying English to healthcare communication.
