When Talking Medicine with colleagues or patients, Medical Students, Doctors and Physicians, other Health professionals and Researchers need to possess high-level skills.

Non native English speakers will often need to improve their language skills so that they can communicate medical information adequately:

• practise English for Medicine with us, improve your fluency and gain confidence in understanding and speaking English in medical situations
• send us all relevant information that might be useful for visitors interested in your country

Native English speakers are also welcome for their expertise in their own favorite medical topics and are invited to take advantage of our worldwide exchange.

This site concentrates on listening and speaking skills. It provides:

• a series of units offering non-native speakers the opportunity to improve their English language in different medical contexts
• links to sources of medical information
• medical and other opportunities
