"In the near future, I will be able to conduct consulting and joint research in my field of expertise online, regardless of country." This is what many healthcare professionals are feeling.

However, the problem here is the difficulty of talking to people who are not English teachers online.

　Skilled English teachers are good at speaking slowly, clearly pronounced and using easy-to-understand words. In comparison, for example, a patient who is sick and inactive may not be able to expect much in terms of pronouncing clearly or explaining in a loud, detailed and easy-to-understand manner. Moreover, reactions and facial expressions are often different in each culture, and reading them is only experience.

In view of these points, the University of Leicester's online medical English program not only changes the knowledge of medical interviews from Japanese to English, but also the culture, the reaction of simulated patients unique to foreigners, and the online " New ". In addition to experiencing various differences such as the form of interviews as " Normal " and improving medical English, we aim to give you a sense of freshness, fun, and future medical services. I am.

TheOSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination ), which was born in the United Kingdom, is now widely used in Japan, and its effects are highly evaluated. This online medical English program focuses specifically on the "medical interview" in theOSCE . After mastering English for medical interviews in the lessons, you will have a medical interview in English with theSP (Standardized Patient ) adopted by the British School of Medicine.

　In the UK, unlike Japan, there is a great deal of emphasis on simulated patient training, which is frequently practiced within the curriculum. In the field, there is a specialized education organization for that purpose, and in order to obtain a sufficient training effect, education for the role of simulated patients is thoroughly conducted, and training as a professional is being carried out. In this program, we will specially hire local standard simulated patients and conduct practical training online .

​

By coming into contact with not only Japanese medical care but also the medical culture of other countries, we hope that by reviewing and evaluating our medical care, we will have the opportunity to gain insight into the future of Japanese medical care. increase.

This program will be a great opportunity to start preparing as a healthcare professional for the new medical era.
