Fach Ugarit is a Language training platform for doctors who want to work in Germany. It helps you learn German medical language — from terminology to clinical communication and documentation — exactly as you need it for the German medical language examination (Fachsprachprüfung) and your everyday medical practice. Designed by doctors for doctors, Fach Ugarit was developed based on feedback from dozens of physicians to make learning medical German practical, connected, and clinically relevant through scenarios and cases from different medical specialties. You start with medical terminology, pronunciation, and questions, then apply what you have learned in interconnected clinical cases featuring doctor–patient and doctor–doctor conversations with audio and translations, together with medical documentation. This allows you to practise the different stages of medical communication within one coherent clinical context. Fach Ugarit also includes medical phone calls, anatomical images, scenarios from German hospitals, clinical examination language, and simulations of the Fachsprachprüfung with AI-powered corrections and feedback. Practise medical German the way you need it for the exam—and the way you will use it every day as a doctor in Germany.
