《醫(yī)學英語泛讀教程》主要為醫(yī)學專業(yè)學生的英語泛讀課程設(shè)計。
全書共分為8個單元，其主題分別為：重大疾病、醫(yī)學熱點、醫(yī)界名人、醫(yī)學與藝術(shù)、醫(yī)學與倫理、醫(yī)學與未來、醫(yī)學與影視以及醫(yī)學與宗教。
《醫(yī)學英語泛讀教程》涉及內(nèi)容廣泛，以醫(yī)學為中心，選擇的文章具有較強的專業(yè)性，但又不會是枯燥詞匯和專業(yè)知識的堆積，而多是生動有趣、貼近生活、與時俱進的故事和觀點。在提高學生醫(yī)學和英語能力的同時，還能促進他們的分析推理等思維能力。
《醫(yī)學英語泛讀教程》每個單元有4篇文章，依次為泛讀A、泛讀B、快速閱讀C和課后閱讀D。泛讀A、泛讀B和快速閱讀C中的難點詞匯會有腳注，以幫助學生更加順暢地閱讀。每篇文章后附有相應(yīng)的習題，這些習題考查的主要是學生對文章內(nèi)容的理解而不是語法。其中泛讀A會比較側(cè)重詞匯的訓練，而泛讀B則更注重培養(yǎng)學生對文章整體的理解，并附上與之相關(guān)的話題，鼓勵學生在閱讀之外搜集更多相關(guān)資料，豐富自己的知識，并展開探討。
