THIS MEDICAL ENGLISH COURSE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

99% of doctors and medical students who have taken this course would recommend it to others (information correct August 2021).

The course takes you through the language used throughout the patient journey, from admission to interview, tests, diagnosis, treatment, surgery and end-of-life care. The 13 units cover medical terminology, patient and staff interactions, hospital language and documents, research articles, and much more. At the end of each unit there is a quiz for you to check you have learnt the most important language.

During the course, you study all aspects of medical language, including vocabulary, communication, pronunciation, grammar and functional skills. There is a very wide range of activities, including interactive recording where you record and listen to yourself in conversation with a patient. The course has a strong practical focus and is regularly reviewed so the content is always relevant and up to date.

This English for medical students and doctors course is also excellent preparation for OET Medicine, required by regulatory bodies for doctors registering to work in English-speaking countries such as the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Ireland. It provides the language foundation that those studying for OET Medicine need. The course can be combined with SLC’s Reach OET B Medicine.

Throughout the course, we are here to answer your questions, whether they are about the content or if you have a technical issue when accessing the course.
