German for medics – terms and abbreviations

To be able to use German professionally as a medical practitioner, it is essential to have a good command of the specialist vocabulary. Another particular theme of German for doctors is the abbreviations, which are very common in this profession, and the jargon used in everyday hospital life, which may be incomprehensible to a beginner.

Imagine for a moment that you can deal confidently with your international patients in German, knowing exactly what to say, understanding their problems and being able to attend to them with the desired effectiveness. You will no longer have to go through embarrassing moments and will gradually gain confidence and stop being overwhelmed when you have to provide healthcare in German. This is a very delicate subject, especially in this specialty, where a poor translation or interpretation can endanger a patient’s health.
