On-the-job English for medical and healthcare workers

看護・医療スタッフの英語 is a new book targeting Japanese medical and healthcare workers. It covers over 17 chapters every steps of a patient consulting at a hospital, followed by pre- and post-operation stages, administrative paper works and the like. It is not designed nor intended as a manual for medical interpretation. Unfortunately, the attached audio CD only offers English spoken at a very low speed for Japanese medical staff to catch easily. The equivalent Japanese is to be found in the book. However, as a bilingual introduction to medical language and basic E->J book, it can be alternatively used for a first step into medical interpreting and could make for a descent manual at that.
