Hospital English also contains free teaching materials for medical English vocabulary, English conversations in the hospital, and lesson plans based around various medical procedures. In addition to the 2 course books, there are a variety of free online resources on the site for both students and teachers: vocabulary builders, patient counseling activities, disease state directors, healthcare professional articles, medical flashcards, hospital English lesson plans, ESP worksheets, and more to come!

I am a US licensed pharmacist. I have worked at Yale New Haven Medical Center, Hartford Hospital and retail pharmacies. I live abroad and have been teaching English as a foreign language since 1999. I currently teach medical English classes at 2 nursing colleges in Japan. These resources were designed for my students but are posted here free for all to use. They can be adapted for use as teaching materials for doctors, nurses, physical therapists, radiologists, physician assistants, pharmacists, and more. I hope you find them stimulating and useful.
