Professional Communication in English: Medicine

English for Professional Communication: Medicine is a third revised and expanded edition of the student book with the same title, issued in 2024 by Varna Medical University Press. It is aimed at teaching English for specific purposes in various fields of healthcare. Serving as a continuation of the principles, structure, and methodology established by English for Medicine (2009), it responds to the rapid evolution of medical science, the integration of novel pedagogical technologies, and online resources. These factors have given rise to a new breed of learners and heightened demand for specialized language instructors and teaching approaches.

The extensive professional teaching background, along with her creativity, enabled Ilina Doykova to accurately identify the necessity for an update and explore new subjects, consulting a multitude of resources and cultivating comprehensive linguistic content. The author effectively incorporates the most important aspects of medical communication and terminology into authentic texts and contexts by crafting exercises that introduce, reinforce, and solidify specialized high-frequency vocabulary as well as lexical and grammatical patterns.
