Yes, Alex, they would. Many of the colleges have international agreements and affiliations with schools of nursing or medicine. Those same schools abroad often ask for faculty and sometimes on short contracts of say, a semester. You wouldn't know about these programs if you have never spoken to any ...

Hi, Alex: You may not see these jobs advertised, but they are out there. Usually they are part of IEN programs: Internationally Educated Nurses programs at the colleges and universities in the USA and Canada. I have a number of customers for my own materials who work in these jobs . Bye for now, Mel...

Hi, Alex: Thank-you for steering me back to your website. Okay,.. I like most of your EMP activities but I wonder who they are written for? Who is your target group? Certainly this material will not be adquate to meet the needs of health professionals, but provides a good launching point. If you hav...

Hi, Alex Case: I read your comment with interest. I tried to look at a sample of your material on Using English.com, but its not available without a fee. I did see material by someone named 'Sam'. Wow,..... sooooo many mistakes. It is clear to see he has no background in Medical English and is tryin...

Hello: What an excellent conference. Sorry none of you could make it. Nursing and Language Educators from across Canada attended. All were concerned with the importance of safe practice in health care through language competency. It was really interesting to hear a common theme that foreign-trained ...

Hi, Amity:
I see you are/were in Texas. Try to track down English Horizons in El Paso. They might be able to help you.

Hi, everyone: I will be presenting my latest paper, Safety to Practice: a core feature of language competency for Nurses at the following conference (where I am on faculty). Please come! It would be wonderful to meet other ESP teachers in this field. Educators working in non-English speaking countri...

Thanks for this great resource. It is very helpful because it is genre specific. Prentice Hall Publishers and others also offer help to would-be authors. These services are offered on publisher's websites.

Once again, thanks.

Hello! Seems we keep meeting on these discussion boards. Great! When you say you are teaching nurses from China who are preparing to take a BSN 'course' in New Zealand, do you mean they will be taking the entire 4 year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program? Are they not getting any credit from the ...

Hello, everyone: As you can see from the number of hits on this forum for Medical English, this is a very popular subject! However, many of the questions and comments are related to Nursing English. I'd like to open this new discussion with a couple of questions: how many of you are actually teachin...

Hi, 'mesmark': Please know I wasn't specifically referring to you when I wrote my last post wondering where all the EMP teachers were. As an academic myself, I applaud your dedication and commitment to your field. Honestly. But as a professional you must agree that we are all 'supposed' to be involv...
