The role of teaching foreign languages at medical universities

The traits of the teaching medical workers are associated with the need for their constant development in accordance with new trends in the world of medical technologies and scientific discoveries. Meanwhile, medical specialization, like no other, requires not only openness, but also direct practical participation in the international exchange of experience and achievements, from which the conclusion is drawn about the undeniable importance of a foreign (primarily English) language in the preparation of students of medical universities. The aim is to develop an advanced pedagogical system of self-education of future doctors for the implementation of English-language professional communication.
