A Unique  Programme 

Our 3 week programme offers medical students the chance to develop their communication skills in an English-primed environment, alongside fellows from all over the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to acquiring effective communication skills in the English language and culture, a focus is put on honing scientific presentation skills and patient consultation skills in the clinical setting.

Principles Of

Medical Communication

Communication in the practice of medicine requires specific professional skills. It is an essential yet often neglected topic in medical school education. From patient consultation to interaction with collaborators to scientific presentation, develop the language skills particular to the field.

Communication and

Presentation Tactics

Being able to communicate clearly and effectively is vital in many of our daily activities. From face-to-face personal communication to team meetings, make use of verbal and nonverbal communication skills to engage different audience in different context with different medium.

Patient

Consultation

Interacting with patients in the clinical setting follows consultation models that differ depending on background and culture. Acquisition of interviewing and listening skills in English not only facilitates interaction with international patients and colleagues, but also prepares you for future training overseas.
