ANGEL RODRIGUEZ, Naliet; ALPIZAR LEON, Yaimi Pastora y GARCIA HERNANDEZ, Georgette. The Importance of English language in the medical field. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.2, pp. 413-421. Epub 01-Abr-2020. ISSN 1029-3043.
Nowadays, English is considered the global language for science communication. It has been taught in different Cuban institutions over the last decades to meet professionals and students' academic needs. This sort of learning is known as English for Specific Purposes and is implemented with medical students and doctors. This teaching approach has reached an unquestionable status in medical settings, since much of the updated medical information found in books, articles, documents and newspapers is in English language. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the importance for medical students and doctors to learn English for medical purposes, in order to be able to develop in different settings.
