This course is designed for students who wish to broaden their knowledge of the French medical environment and who intend working in the health sector (medical students, doctors, medical assistants, etc.). We would like to draw students’ attention to the fact that this course is on medical French and not a course in medicine. Students need not be experts in this field to attend the course. The programme also focuses on patient-doctor relations in daily situations (making an appointment, consultation, diagnosis, prescription) and communication between doctors. The programme presents the French health system with a variety of supporting documents (television programmes, reference websites, medical training CD-ROMs, etc.) and through simulations of practical situations that arise in a hospital environment. The course begins with day-to-day situations leading up to use of the specialised vocabulary needed by professionals in the health sector. It will focus on the different cross-cultural aspects of patient-doctor and patient-hospital relations and will feature a communicative approach based on simulations of realistic situations (hospital, medical examination, etc.). Course includes 30 lessons per week: 20 general French morning lessons + 10 private medical French afternoon lessons per week. Intensive 62972 . BLS: Bordeaux 45 1 1 980.00 BLS: Bordeaux

"The city was beautiful and my family stay experience could not have been better. "

Katie M. Murphy, student from USA

The school was perfectly located - right in the heart of Bordeaux. It was easily accessible, especially with the tram. They offered an activity everyday, so you could participate as much as you wanted to. The building was charming and cute, and the staff was incredibly friendly. There were students from all over the world, at all levels of French. The one negative thing that I have to say is that my teacher (although VERY nice) could get a little carried away with her stereotypes of Americans. It was funny for the first couple of days, as I thought that was just maybe her way of relating (I was the only American), but it did get a little old (ex: when describing a "fly" in French, she explained them as the bugs that all of our pesticides kill). I guess looking back it was kind of funny. My family stay was outstanding. Nadine was incredibly kind and patient and very encouraging. The experience certainly would not have been the same without the cozy, delicious dinners at her house with various dinner guests and great conversations to practice speaking and comprehension.
