FSP Dictionary — Instructions and Features

Help / Learning Center / FSP Dictionary

The FSP Dictionary is your quick reference for 150 medical Useful Phrases and formulations, organized into six categories. It is ideal as a reference work during your exercises in the FSP Simulator — or whenever you are simply looking for the appropriate German phrase for a specific exam situation.

What is the FSP Dictionary?

The Fachsprachprüfung is not just about having medical Knowledge — you must also be able to express it in correct, natural-sounding German. This is exactly where the FSP Dictionary comes in. Instead of generic vocabulary lists, you will find 150 ready-to-use Useful Phrases and standard formulations as they are actually used in Medical History, Informed Consent, and exam interviews.

The entries are organized into six clear categories: Medical History, Diagnosis, Informed Consent, Exam Interview, Course, and Miscellaneous. Each category covers a typical exam section and provides you with the building blocks you need to formulate your thoughts clearly and professionally.

The dictionary is partially accessible to the public — you do not need a separate login to use the core functions. For developers, there is also a REST API at kennti/v1/woerterbuch, which allows the content to be queried programmatically.

  3. Or search directly: Use the full-text search if you have a specific keyword in mind — for example, “Pain” or “Informed Consent”.
  4. Read and practice Useful Phrases: Speak the formulations out loud to internalize them. Written words alone are not enough — you must also be able to speak them fluently.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Speak everything out loud: The dictionary is not a reading book — it is a speaking book. Only those who speak it out loud will remember it.
  • Work category by category: Go through one category after another. Once you have mastered Medical History, move on to Informed Consent.
  • Keep open alongside the Simulator: While you are practicing a case, the dictionary serves as a cheat sheet for missing formulations.
  • Do not memorize everything: Focus on the Useful Phrases that you often need for your personal style — quality beats quantity.
  • Combine with flashcards: Enter particularly important phrases onto your personal cards and repeat them with FSRS in the Flashcards.
