Question 1

Why should I do this course?

Accepted Answer

English is the global language of medicine and science. It is essential to various activities including contact with non-German patients, working and studying abroad, scientific work and clinical research. Unfortunately not all medical universities, nursing schools or firstreponder training programmes provide sufficient training in medical English. The level of English taught in school is possibly adequate to take a history but for more in depth tasks, a deeper knowledge of the language is necessary. Our course is tailored to this need. Additionally there are CME Points through the Ärztekammer Schleswig-Holstein for this course.

Question 2

Is this course for me?

Accepted Answer

Do you have contact with english-speaking patients and want to be able to interact more confidently with them? Would you like to work abroad? Do you plan to do an Erasmus semester? If yes, then this course is for you!   We warmly welcome people from all age groups and from all clinical specialities to the course.
