The aim of this course is not that of teaching how to read a medical text, but to help to practice medicine in English, possibly in a human context different from the one we are familiar with. To acquire the writing skills in technical English that are needed to draft a scientific text. To communicate in English with patients and colleagues, and overcome cultural barriers, in order to practice medicine in a foreign environment. The program is carried out over three years from English 1 (improving the student’s knowledge of English to B2 level) to English 2-3-4 (Scientific and Medical English). TEACHING METHODS Any Student with documented Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), or with any special needs, shall reach out to the Lecturer(s) and to the dedicated SLD Representative in the School/Department before class begins, in order to arrange the specific teaching methods and ensure proper achievement of the learning outcomes. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The students enter a virtual hospital, meet the staff, get to know the individual operating units and learn the structure of healthcare systems in Anglo-Saxon countries. Typical situations of dialogue with the most frequent English expressions relating to health are presented in specific medical areas, giving preference to non-technical but commonly used ones that the patient can use. For all these scenarios, the differences that are important to know between the Anglo-Saxon interpersonal approach and the Italian one are underlined to allow you to establish a relationship of trust and better communication with the patient.
