Professors of English Language have had to face English language teaching for specific purposes from the self - preparation, self-learning and empirical point of view, not only in pre -graduate but also in post-graduate education. This research paper was aimed at designing a strategy for professional training at Medical Terminology in English Language to the General English Language at “Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna” Medical School, Pinar del Rio. Using the historical-logical, inductive-deductive methods to carry out this study, together with observations to a system of lectures and surveys to the teaching staff and directives of the department of Languages. The target group was comprised of 33 professor s of English Language at the Medical School during the present academic course (2011 - 2012). The sample gathered 100% of the target group.

The strategy designed took into account the criteria of experts, since its implementation can be possible in any of the teaching Medical Science institutions all over the country.
