ENGLISH FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES AS A KEY COMPONENT OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF MEDICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

English for Medical Purposes (EMP) plays a crucial role in the professional training of medical students in the context of globalized healthcare and evidence-based medicine. Proficiency in medical English enables future physicians to access international scientific literature, participate in academic and clinical communication, and deliver effective patient care in multicultural environments. EMP focuses on the development of specialized vocabulary, clinical discourse, and professional communication skills directly related to medical practice. The integration of EMP into medical curricula enhances students’ academic mobility, professional competence, and readiness for international collaboration, making it an essential component of modern medical education.
