本書共8個單元。每個單元均包含視聽說、閱讀和口語三部分。
視聽說選取各種國際會議和學術交流的音視頻資料,幫助學生提升聽力水準;設計相關問題,提供學生進行口語表達的機會。
閱讀文章2篇:Text A為精讀材料,Text B為泛讀材料。材料均選自國際醫學學術期刊、書籍或權威醫學網站上的英文文章,強化學生的文獻閱讀能力、提升詞彙學習效率的同時,通過課後練習,引入groupdiscussion和oral presentation,讓學生能就問題展開討論並獨立表達觀點。
口語分為:臨床問診英語口語,以診室語境為背景,提高學生英語問診能力;國際會議英語口語,以國際學術會議為綱,涉及會議整個流程中需要的英語內容;向西方介紹中國,從跨文化交際的角度出發,在國際會議和交流中向西方人介紹中國人的思想和文化特點,讓世界更瞭解中國。
在體例、內容和編排上,本書淡化了低年級本科生醫學英語裡重視的語法、句法、醫學詞彙構詞法以及醫學文獻閱讀等方面內容,也弱化了文獻閱讀以及論文寫作等方面能力的內容,而是著重強調學術口語交際能力和跨文化交際能力的培養,以及文化認知、文化對比等方面的知識的儲備和意識的樹立。
