pdL-students of the course ‚Deutsch für medizinische Berufe‘ behind the scenes

Dr. med. Martin Langer, head physician of the central emergency room at the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Unna, welcomed our participants and showed them around the medical facilities. The interventional radiology and endscopy were as well part of our visit as the operating theatre. Of course there was also time for professional exchange in a relaxed atmosphere with coffee and cake.
