English for Doctors is recommended for doctors, medical students and nurses whose native language is other than English. The format used in this book will help to develop excellent communication skills between doctors and patients.

Exercises consist of a pre-listening activity aimed at preparing the reader for better comprehension of the main dialogue of the unit, a listening section involving both comprehension and new colloquial vocabulary as well as practice of useful phrases, and a section on the doctor's role where new language skills can be consolidated. To fit the needs of the users, some dialogues are available in both British and American English since word usage sometimes varies between the two. Apart from being an aid in developing language skills used in medical practice, this book can also be used in the preparation of professional examinations.
