Average Course Rating

In this interactive language course (not exclusively designed for pre-meds), students learn how to communicate in the fields of public health, medicine, and humanitarian aid in a French-speaking environment. While acquiring new lexical and syntactic tools weekly, students examine and debate the current structures and issues of the French health system, through a variety of media (governmental websites, mainstream and specialized newspapers, movies, blogs, first-account books, etc.). A final project is tailored to each student’s own area of interest. Please note that this course is taught by a language instructor, not a medical expert. Recommended course background: AS.210.301 or AS.210.302 or permission of instructor.
