چکیده
This essay summarises the development of a pan European approach to the education of English-speaking medical students over a period of four centuries. It demonstrates that the current interest in “English Parallel” courses across Central and Eastern Europe is not a new phenomenon. The essay investigates the role of push and pull factors in drawing people away from their country of origin to study medicine elsewhere. In addition it draws on the experience of examination candidates when faced with questions in a different language to their own.
