Medical English

Description

Downtown Vancouver

This is the fundamental course offered by the Institute and is the basis from which other courses were developed. It concentrates on the acquisition of English in a medical context and it is intended for students with an intermediate to advanced level of English knowledge.The course is designed to complement the learning process that is natural to most people. We find that 3 hours of intense learning is about the most that an average person can usefully absorb in a day. The rest of the day can be spent most beneficially doing exercises designed to reinforce the learned material. This is accomplished in the companion course, Practicing Medical English.The Core course is concentrated and meant to get the material into the students head, the companion course Practicing Medical English keeps it there. The course is ongoing on a four month rotating basis. All components of the course will be taught every month but the content will not repeat itself until the fifth month. This means that a student can enter the course at any time, and can choose a one, two, three or four month intensive course. Students completing the full four-month program will give graduating presentations and receive a diploma.
