梁正溜所著的《医学英语教程(社会医学)》由十个单元组成，在内容上有很大程度的调整和充实，选材更赋有针对性，即社会知识和语言知识两者的合理兼顾，从而使本教材洋溢着主题教材的时代气息，同时也提供了语言学习的丰富内容。

本教材在体例上有其独特的一面，课文处理融入了课堂互动交际法的设计。在每个单元前安排了课前任务(Assignments Before Class)：1)要求指定的学生上网搜寻在课文A中出现的某些术语的定义，并准备一分钟独特的口头讲解；2)要求指定的学生带着问题阅读课文A的相应内容，并以一种独特的方式，准备一分钟的问题回答。这些课前准备的任务将在课堂上由教师有序地、有机地融入到互动的教学活动中，旨在增强学生课堂学习的能动性。

梁正溜所著的《医学英语教程(社会医学)》由复旦大学名师编写，专为需要提高医学方面英语技能的人士设计。无论是医学院学生，还是普通高校学生，均能从中受益——不但学到了英浯，而且获得了医学方面的知识。《医学英语教程(社会医学)》由十个单元组成，选文独特而新颖，从方方面面诠释了“社会医学”这一主题，可谓主题教学设计之典范。而内容丰富、形式多样的练习也是本书一大特色，其来源于交际教学法的设计理念有助于增强课堂教学的百动件。
