Keywords:
medical information, medical and scientific literature or journals, patients, medical field, colleagues, medical professionalsAbstract
English is now regarded as the universal language for communicating science. This type of instruction is called English for Particular Purposes, and it is used with physicians and medical students. Since a large portion of the most recent medical information can be found in English-language books, articles, documents, and newspapers, this teaching method has gained widespread acceptance in medical settings. The purpose of this study is to show how important it is for medical professionals, including students and practitioners, to learn English for medical purposes in order to adapt to various environments.
