Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, language: English, abstract: The present study was carried out to investigate the existing proficiency of medical learners in English listening and speaking skills. The purpose of the study is to recommend a course of English language in response to the linguistic inadequacy of the medical learners studying in the medical colleges of Pakistan. The perceptions of students of medicine, teachers of medicine, medical trainees and medical administrators were gathered. The data were analyzed quantitatively by means of Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The results indicate that existing proficiency of medical learners in English listening and speaking skills was not up to the mark. This situation calls for appropriate attention for the implementation of a course of English based on English speaking and listening contents in the medical colleges of Pakistan therefore, the standard of medical education can be elevated both at national and international levels.

This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Language and the Medical Profession: Instructing and Assessing the Communication Skills of International Physicians is designed for a new context for English language teaching: the emerging, worldwide interest in English for medicine. The book offers a program for an English language curriculum that is specifically designed for the important and growing group of international medical professionals, with a focus on both instruction and assessment. International physicians in the United States now total more than 25 per cent of the physician workforce. Even subsequent to their passage of the clinical skills exam required for licensing and practice as physicians in U.S. hospitals, international physicians face communication challenges as first-year residents and may be referred to specialists for language and cultural issues. Advanced residents may face additional issues when they begin work as independent practitioners. This volume goes beyond existing texts in collecting the expertise of English language teaching and testing experts, medical residency supervisors, medical licensing, and exchange agencies in examining issues related to international physicians' performance as graduate students and doctors in hospitals and other settings. The contributors include specialists at the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates and doctors who supervise international medical residents as well as recognized ESP practitioners.

Download or read book International Medical Graduates in the United States written by Hassaan Tohid and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of international medical graduates come to the United States to start their career as physicians. Many of them, however, are not aware of the challenges and problems that they may encounter along the way. These difficulties can range from the language and cultural barriers to a lack of confidence and self-esteem. Many students are also unaware of the other career options besides getting into a clinical residency program. As a result of these issues, a great number of foreign medical students remain unmatched into the National Resident Matching Program. Not matching can be devastating for these graduates, both financially and medically. Students often suffer from psychological effects like major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. This book outlines the potential problems faced by these graduates and their possible solutions. Each chapter collects research evidence, interviews and surveys to gather information to work on each possible problem one by one and describes a solution in great detail. Comprised of thirty chapters, each chapter is broken down into smaller sub-sections to investigate the main theme in depth. Issues addressed include the different types of international medical graduates and their lives in the United States, differences in the education system and healthcare system, the triangle of residency, language and cultural barriers, lack of professional contacts, confidence, self-image and self-esteem issues, and restriction to specific fields and career paths. Written by experts in the field, International Medical Graduates in the United States is a first of its kind text that addresses the biggest issues faced by foreign medical graduates in today's world.

Download or read book English Language Communication Skills in English for Medical Purposes written by Mary Van Galen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completing a medical degree and matching into a medical residency are challenging academic endeavors. Even more challenging is matching into a United States medical residency if you are a nonnative English speaker and completed a medical degree at a foreign medical school. Over 25% of United States working physicians are classified as International Medical Graduates (Foreign Medical Doctors). Although English has become the lingua franca of the global medical discourse community, a major hurdle for International Medical Graduates is the demonstration of effective English language communication skills via the passage of the United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 2 Clinical Skills (USMLE Step 2 CS). Traditionally, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers have been asked to teach English to foreign medical students through English courses that focus on medicine. this field of teaching developed into a specialty field entitled English for Medical Purposes (EMP). The lack of medical knowledge of typical EFL teachers has posed challenges for both the students and the teachers. In this paper, I will provide a comprehensive background on EMP. I will look at the challenges faced by International Medical Graduates regarding the five essential English language communication skills in medicine-comprehensive reading, writing, speaking, comprehensive listening, and communicating nonverbally. I will also look at each of these language skills in relationship to the USMLE Step 2 CS. Finally, I will propose a five-day intensive EMP workshop for International Medical Graduates preparing to take or retake the USMLE Step 2 CS.
