Communication and documentation for doctors before and after the medical specialist language examination

This course is aimed at doctors before and after the medical specialist language examination and is based on the general language levels B2 and C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Being able to communicate correctly in professional language and to understand all information in detail is very important in everyday clinical work. In this course, doctors train effective communication with physicians, medical staff, nurses, patients and relatives in the relevant specialist areas. The focus is on communication, interaction and production. The course covers topics from the specialist language examination and is tailored to the specialist fields and current knowledge level of the participants, with direct relevance to everyday professional practice.

In addition to audience-appropriate oral communication and listening comprehension, job-specific written documentation is trained.

The course also guides participants towards in-depth self-study.
