Despre cursul English for Doctors, nivelul Intermediate
Dacă ești medic sau profesionist în domeniul sănătății și cauți un curs de engleză online care să te ajute să depășești bariera de limbaj în mediul clinic, ai ajuns în locul potrivit. Acest curs de engleză pentru medici de nivel Intermediate (B1 → B2) este conceput pentru a răspunde exact nevoilor tale de comunicare profesională, îmbinând terminologia medicală esențială cu structurile gramaticale avansate.
Programul conține 60 de lecții structurate în 10 unități tematice captivante: 1. The patient in front of you; 2. Medical mysteries; 3. Treatment plans; 4. Tests and evidence; 5. Rules, mistakes and regrets; 6. Difficult patients, difficult conversations; 7. Medicine and science; 8. Careers and teams; 9. Presenting and persuading; și 10. Medicine today and tomorrow. Prin aceste unități, vei parcurge subiecte practice precum luarea unei anamneze detaliate (taking a detailed history), descrierea durerii, stabilirea unui diagnostic diferențial, planificarea tratamentului, comunicarea veștilor proaste (breaking bad news), procedurile de laborator, controlul infecțiilor, gestionarea cazurilor dificile și prezentarea unui caz rar la vizita clinică.
Pe parcursul celor 60 de lecții, vei asimila treptat gramatica limbii engleze la nivel intermediar și mediu-superior. Vei învăța formarea întrebărilor (subject and object questions, indirect questions), timpurile verbale (Present simple, continuous, perfect, narrative tenses, future forms), verbele stative, obiceiurile din trecut (used to, would, be used to / get used to), adjectivele și gradarea lor, verbele modale de deducție pentru prezent și trecut, propozițiile temporale și condiționale (First, Second, Third, mixed conditionals), verbele modale de obligație și permisiune, diuza pasivă, structurile cauzative (have / get something done), verbele de raportare, stilul formal și informal, precum și exprimarea probabilității și a tendințelor.
Îmbogățirea vocabularului se face natural: înveți 20–30 de cuvinte noi per lecție (în total 1,445 de termeni), iar cuvintele învățate anterior revin frecvent în exerciții pentru a fi fixate pe termen lung.
Platforma noastra îți oferă un mod de învățare extrem de interactiv și flexibil. Pe fiecare pagină găsești exerciții interactive, înregistrări audio pe care le poți asculta, texte de citit și un dicționar integrat în lecție cu traduceri în limba română, precum și o listă personală de cuvinte. Totul funcționează bine și pe telefonul tău, astfel încât să poți studia oricând ai câteva minute libere.
După finalizarea acestui nivel, vei putea purta discuții clinice complexe în engleză, vei înțelege articole medicale de specialitate, vei putea explica planuri de tratament pacienților străini și vei prezenta cazuri medicale cu încredere.
Poți începe imediat și complet gratuit: lecțiile 1–10 sunt accesibile oricui, fără a fi nevoie de un cont. Lecțiile 11–20 devin gratuite după crearea unui cont (cu nume și e-mail). Întregul nivel (toate cele 60 de lecții pentru studiu individual fără profesor) costă doar 210 lei, plătiți o singură dată, cu acces pe viață și garanție de rambursare integrală în 14 zile.
