The major challenge of modern medicine is the quality of care. This attribute is conditioned by clinical practice founded on available and reliable scientific information and on the periodical renewal of doctors' knowledge. Health professionals are obliged to maintain their knowledge base through reading or continuing education. In order to accomplish this, they must search and identify the relevant information from the available sources. The problem of the relevance of a given source arises and we were interested in determining the doctors' perception of strategic information sources in order to construct a value of use for them.In order to accomplish this we undertook a survey of 113 university hospital doctors in the Rhône-Alps and Loire regions, many of whom expressed a need for information and training. They have given themselves certain means and perceived some information sources as being strategic, namely data bases, online medical portals, forums and news sources and personal libraries of medical seminars and reference works. They also consulted their colleagues in order to optimise the efficiency of the care protocols they develop for their patients.

These factors are then applied to fundamental medical writings in French and English.

AbstractAn age-old science, medicine has had to follow in the steps of History for millennia. Little wonder, then, if medical language – and, hence, terminology – has always been influenced, over the years, by its successive users.The didactics of medical translation should take into account that the medical sociolecte, far from feeding on an exact and objective terminology, is in fact prey to synchronic as well as diachronic instability.
