Lehre & Fokus

The focus of my course will be written and oral communication in English so that students will be able to understand English conversations and correspondence in telemedicine settings and, more importantly, to be understood. Moreover, medical English terminology as well as academic writing will be highlighted.

Warum dieser Master?

“As the world grows older and local and federal governments struggle with costs of providing quality health care, the importance of Telemedicine is taking center stage. The ability to communicate not only in English but also in the digital space will play an important part. My focus will be on written and spoken language to reduce misunderstandings and promote efficient and transparent communications, which will be an important skill in telemedicine.”
