Aimee Lawton: Medical French Essentials, Gebunden

Klappentext

This comprehensive and accessible resource bridges the gap between linguistic skills and medical knowledge, making it an essential tool for healthcare professionals seeking to work within humanitarian aid or undertake electives and fellowships in French-speaking territories. Providing a convenient alternative or addition to in-person and online teaching, the book features glossaries, vocabulary, medical descriptions, diagrams, question and answer pages, and unique clinical cases allowing in-class discussions and debates. It has been designed to accompany the Méd-Franç Essentials (MFE) courses provided by the Anglo-French Medical Society, a series of programmes aimed at teaching healthcare professionals the fundamentals of medical vocabulary in French and English, but also to be used independently.
