醫療英語訓練學校

A unique Medical English Program for medical professionals

How is medical English different from ordinary English? Many people who are not involved in medical English (and unfortunately some who are) think that medical English just means medical terminology. There is a lot more to it than just that!

Terminology is very important, but it is just the starting point. You have to know the terms to talk to other professionals, but much of your time is spent talking to patients who don't know medical terminology. With patients you need to be able to explain medical conditions and procedures in language they understand. It has to be simple enough for them, but it still has to be medically accurate.
知道醫療術語只是個起點. 不只要知道如何能與專業人員溝通互動. 更須與病人及非專業人員, 說明情況, 程序, 效果, 而且仍然必須正確.

Then there is the cultural aspect of dealing with both colleagues and patients. In an English speaking hospital, when should you be very respectful and when would a joke help to get things done? How do you instruct and help a patient get through a very undignified procedure? Medicine is based on science, but we are constantly reminded that human communication can have an enormous effect on how that science helps a patient cope with a medical condition.

Using Medical English We always try to find ways that our students can experience the use of medical English in a real medical setting. In the school we do realistic role plays which mimic what would be encountered in a hospital or clinic.
學習使用醫療英文是我們的衷旨, 所以, 讓學生有實際使用醫療英文的經驗, 是我們教學的特色. 學生將有不同身歷醫療環境的體驗.

For interested students We will arrange a working experience in the medical field. This would typically be an unpaid position and would usually involve "shadowing" a Canadian medical professional as they went about their work. There is no charge to registered full-time students for this service.
有興趣的學生, 我們將為他/她安排一在真實加拿大醫療環境的自願工作. 學生將與加拿大第一線醫療工作者一起互動.

There are many opportunities for volunteer work in medically related organizations and while the student may not be able to work exactly in their own specialty, the interaction of working with medical professionals in a Canadian medical context can provide excellent experience and a great opportunity to practice the English skills learned in the classroom.

Students who want to do a medical internship in a hospital in Canada, are required by law to pass both the Canadian and local medical/nursing exams or an exam that is related to the students field of expertise. This can be a lengthy procedure and we will try to help students with this on a case by case basis.

We also try to connect our students with Canadian professionals in their field for discussion and observation and for social occasions.

Preparation for Medical English 預備醫療英文課程

There is a maximum of 6 students per class so that each student has plenty of opportunity to speak and interact with the teacher. This number will be reduced to 4 students per class when the student moves on to the Core Medical English Program
教課是採小班制, 每班六人, 主要是鼓勵學生間互動, 及師生間互動.

Core Medical English Course 核心醫療英語課程

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.
每天有三小時強化醫療英文課程, 下午這是以練習, 實習, 來複習, 及演練所學. 我們稱實習醫療英文.

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.
這課程有四大單元, 每一單元一個月, 學生可在不同新單元開始時入學. 四個月結束時, 學生要作畢業簡報, 並取得結業證書.

We recommend that students take the full program of 30 hours a week which includes 15 hours of intensive classroom learning (Core Medical English Immersion) and another 15 hours of Medical English reinforcement (Practicing Medical English) which include use of the language laboratory, shadowing (observing) of medical professionals, conversation and pronunciation classes. However, we will try to accommodate students that wish to take only one course at a time.
我們建議學生, 選上每天六小時的全日制課程. 每天 3小時 核心醫療英語課程. 另外每天下午 3小時 醫療英語實習課程.

Entrance Requirements:

學生入學時, 英文程度必須達中級以上, 或經過面談來決定妳的程度是否適合.
Intermediate level English or Interview (in person or by telephone) to determine English level

Practicing Medical English is not as intense as Core Medical English but it is calculated to help the student commit the Core material to long-term memory. This is done by using the material learned in the Core course.

The two courses are coordinated so that the same material that is being taught in the Core course is being reinforced in this course. The fact that there is a maximum of 4 students in the class assures the students that they have ample class time to use what they have learned.
本課程與核心醫療英文課程使用相同的教材. 每班只收四個學生, 目的讓學生有充分的機會, 吸收所學.
