PhD, is a senior lecturer at the Department of Foreign Languages of Medical University of Lublin, Poland. Her academic interesnt include Conceptual Metaphor Theory and its potential both in facilitating the didactic process and the diagnosis making. She also focuses on the roles conceptual metaphors play in stress-generating medical environment, radiology, ESP and translation, as well as in the didacticprocesses and communication. She is also affiliated with Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (MCSU) where she teaches medical translation to post graduate students.
Medical University of Lublin is the place where she spends most time teaching specialist terminology as well as coordinating both the activities of the Students’ Association for the Polish – English Medical Communication and the work of teachers of Polish as a foreign language.
She has worked at the Medical University of Lublin for more than 15 years. There, I have been involved both in teaching ESP and medical translation. Teaching future medics requires more than just providing them with specialist terminology so my role is to equip them with the abilities to conduct an empathetic and successful communication with their patients.
