This course provides the necessary vocabulary, writing and oral communicative tools for students who plan to enter the medical profession, work with French-speaking patients, or volunteer in a francophone country in a medical setting. 

Students will have the opportunity not only to improve their fundamental oral and written language skills, but also their understanding of the central roles language and culture play in assuring communication across disciplines.
