We offer sessions on a wide range of topics including specific medical terminology and vocabulary, reading and writing medical reports and letters, as well as the language required to attend medical conferences, seminars, and presentations delivered in English. Students also receive a weekly seminar with a registered nurse. Students are expected to complete 200 hours of in-class training and received a diploma upon completion of the eight weeks program.
