I'm a teacher of English as a second language in Argentina and I'm interested in Medical English, but there aren't many textbooks available on this field, and those available are for advanced or upper intermediate students.I'd very much appreciate any information on books on Medical English for beginners.

I'd also like to keep in touch with teachers of Medical English all thoughout the world, especially Spanish-speaking teachers so as to share experiences and info.

Write to me, please.

Hi Claudia:

I am a Medical English Teacher in Mexico. Currently I am teaching a nationall course at the General Hospital of Mexico City. It will be very useful to keep in touch with teachers allover the world. If it helps, you can consult the page traduccionmedica.com. It may help you with your teaching.

Best regards

Paul

Hello Claudia,

I am an English teacher in Spain (Barcelona) and some of my students need Medical English for their jobs. The problem is that I have different students in my class and all of them have different pedagogical needs. Right now, I am only interested in searching any kind of interesting activities for the students who are doctors or nurses. Do you know any website where I can find this kind of material for my classes? Thanks a lot! Looking foward to your answer!Big Smile [:D]

Hello Paul,

I am an English Teacher and also a doctor in Colombia. I work for EIC which is a language center . We are interested in teaching medical English. There is a great need here in Colombia in this field. How can we get a hold of good books to teach this?

Hi Rodolfo! My name's Elena. I'm currently residing in Barranquilla, I'm teaching Italian and English at the Universidad del Norte. It would be very interesting for me to speak to someone who teaches Medical English here in Colombia, because I'd love to specialise in that field, but I don't have that much information about it. 

I know you posted this almost a year ago, but I just registered and I figured that probably you were still interested in the subject... Do you by any chance live in Barranquilla? I have a friend who was born here and has your same last name! Puede que sea un apellido costeño? :-)

Let me know if you gathered info, books and methodologies on how to become a Medical English teacher for Spanish speakers. Thanks!

Hi Claudia!

Are you still teaching medical English' I'm also a teacher of English as a second language for adults and I'm considering  teaching medical english in the near future. There is a very important hospital near our school and the uptake of such a course would be quite good. what books are you using?

Thanks

Hi, everyone:

    F.A.Davis Publishers will have a new book out in 2008 called English for Nurses and Health Professionals by Melodie Hull.  It is English with some Spanish translation.
