As most people who have begun or completed a medical degree know, there is a great deal of specialized language involved with the profession, practice, and in everyday conversation with others in the field of medicine.
As you begin your post-graduate studies, internships, and residences, people in the medical profession who are not native English speakers quickly begin to understand the value of excellent English pronunciation. For the sake of colleagues, and more importantly the patients you’ll be interfacing with, a thick foreign accent can sometimes be misconstrued as a bad bedside manner. It’s not fair, but oftentimes, patients who are US born, who are struggling with illness or who are in pain will not be in a mindset where being treated by a doctor who they have to ask repeat repeatedly can be disheartening. And it’s for this reason that accent reduction classes are highly suitable for medical professionals from Asia, India, Europe, or elsewhere abroad.
A simple, 12-week program offered by Pronunciation Pro is an excellent choice for medical professionals who work long hours and have very little personal time. The accent reduction and English pronunciation courses offered are accessible any time of day, and move at your pace, unlike other online classes for accent removal that require you to keep a rigid schedule for turning in assignments.
In addition, medical professionals who need to improve their foreign accent are able to record themselves with the Pronunciation Pro format—these recordings are then listened to and evaluated by a professional American pronunciation trainer who offers feedback about your unique issues with English pronunciation. This allows you to fully grasp the concepts of English intonation, English rhythm, and truly learn how to speak English like an American, even when it comes to those more complex medical terms and nomenclature.
We know that you’ve already jumped through a lot of hoops to get through medical school, rigorous programs, residencies, doing rounds, and so much more that it takes to become a doctor, nurse practitioner, or medical scientist. So what’s another 12 weeks? It’s nothing compared to what you’ve already been through, and can make the rest of your accomplishments truly shine as those around you will never struggle to understand you again, and you’ll have the confidence to practice medicine and never have to repeat yourself again!
