Content information
Starting level:
You have a good practical knowledge of German. This course is a follow-up on the preparatory course of German (VOD) or Practical German 3 (PD3).
Objective:
This course is aimed at students of Medicine and Health sciences who will continue their studies in a German speaking country, and all those who are active in the (para)medical sector and would like to deepen their specialised knowledge of German often needed on the job. In this course, you sharpen your communication skills in German (when communicating with colleagues and patients). For example, you learn how to ask questions, explain the diagnosis and treatment in simple terms, etc.
Content:
The texts and conversational situations used during these sessions concern the professional communication between healthcare provider/patient and among the healthcare providers themselves. The exercises focus on communicative skills and are based on real-life situations. Next to acquiring specific vocabulary, the students learn what to say in the most frequent communicative situations in the hospital and during consultations.
