2. Fachsprachprüfung – erfolgreich bestehen!

Successfully passing the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) is a prerequisite for licensure to practice at a German clinic. But even with a degree and good language skills, the average failure rate is 40 percent. Not for nothing is the FSP feared by many! This book is aimed specifically at trained medical professionals with German language skills at level B2/C1. It gives a systematic overview of the FSP and its requirements in the doctor-patient conversation, in the doctor’s letter and in the case presentation among colleagues. The test is primarily concerned with communication skills, i.e. candidates are expected to show that they have mastered their subject, but also how they cope with moments of stress, how they manage conversations with anxious or impatient patients, how they explain medical measures in a generally understandable way and how they formulate appropriate diagnoses in technical language. Using simulations and case studies, you will train the rhetorical tools to master even difficult situations with confidence.

This book offers a series of exercises with solutions in the key section, which are oriented in style and format to the „language building blocks“ subtest of common exams.
