Having worked in the health care career for years, I've seen a compelling need for immigrants and international students to acquire a basic level of communication skills in a health care environment. I still remember at a hospital emergency in Edmonton, a Chinese woman was in tears since she couldn't express her situation: she was pregnant with an Intrauterine Device (IUD) placed in years ago in China. Fortunately, I was able to interpret for her, so the medical staff could address the issue timely. I know this seminar will benefit many people who have a need to understand and be understood by the health care staff. We are here to help you achieve this capability and confidence when you see a doctor or any health care worker next time.
