Firstly, it is for ALL medical professionals!
The chosen language of medicine and science is English. Medical and health workers all over the world are expected to communicate with each other – effectively and accurately – in English. The need for spoken and written precision and accuracy is obvious: other medical and health professionals need to be able to understand immediately what you are expressing in relation to a patient or client, and so do they themselves! This course addresses that essential need.
Additionally, you may wish to complete this course to enhance your employment or promotion potential:
All medical professionals whose second or other language is English, who wish to, or who currently, work in English speaking countries’ medical or health institutions, often need to communicate in English more effectively and accurately. This course will help you do exactly that! It could lead to increased employment opportunities, and even promotion.
Equally, you may wish to follow the English for Medical and Health Purposes programme in order to utilize your medical skills with maximum flexibility, by communicating in two (or more) languages, including English. This could well offer you increased employment and promotion opportunities, for example, in countries where English is the official second language.
Undertaking the English for Medical Purposes course at Express English College will also support you in preparing for the Occupational English Test (OET), and, if you have decided to sit for an IELTS academic examination at the level required for health professionals in a particular country, the course will engage and extend your academic skills necessary for such a high-level test.
