This is the clear vision that healthcare has been looking for to support Internationally Educated Health Professionals in English- speaking nations.

Help Clients with Effective Communication
Task-based language learning is becoming an important way to understand communication in healthcare and how professionals connect with each other. Language barriers in healthcare are a big problem that can lead to cultural misunderstandings and poor communication skills. On the other hand, good interaction with patients and coworkers is linked to better language skills, increased confidence in communication, success on the CELBAN exam, and a clearer understanding of healthcare communication in Canada.
