Medical French
22nd Residential Weekend Course
Friday evening 4th April –
Sunday lunchtime 6th April, 2014
Conference Park, University of Warwick
This established and highly regarded course provides essential medical French and the
confidence to use it. It is invaluable for doctors and medical students intending to
study or work clinically in French-speaking countries or with organisations such as
Médecins sans Frontières.
Teaching is in small groups, according to the level of spoken French-speaking; all levels
from basic (GCSE/O-Level) to fluent are accommodated. Tutors are experienced
teachers, including French-speaking doctors, professional linguists and UK-trained
doctors who have worked in France.
In addition this year, for the first time, we will also be offering a choice of
workshops.
Feedback from recent courses has consistently praised the quality and content of the
teaching, its usefulness for both doctors and students, and its value for money – as
well as a hugely enjoyable weekend.
The course fees include en suite accommodation, all meals, tea and coffee, and a
comprehensive course handbook covering general vocabulary, the systems of the
body, primary care, medical emergencies, prescribing, etc.
Standard fee: £195 for students and £395 for doctors and other professionals.
The 2014 course has places for 40 doctors and 30 students. Recent courses were
heavily over-subscribed; early application is advised.
