Perché scegliere un corso di Inglese Medico?
La conoscenza della lingua inglese è, in campo medico, un’esigenza sempre più pressante per i professionisti​​

Tramite questo corso i partecipanti potranno ampliare il proprio vocabolario medico ed effettuare esperienze pratiche tramite simulazioni connesse alla relazione medico – paziente e all’analisi di casi di studio.
Al termine del corso è previsto il rilascio di un attestato di partecipazione​
