Canada Accent Reduction Classes for the Medical Professionals
"My patients don't understand me." Thai Doctor
Clear communication is most important in healthcare work places. In North America, many foreign trained doctors are competing for limited work positions. Although the majority will have a good command of the English language, not being able to communicate clearly may cause barriers in career advancement and may affect career goals. Speaking clearly and relating better to colleagues and patients will give you the advantage you need to get ahead.
