BACKGROUND

A large vocabulary is required to function well in an English-speaking environment. While many healthcare professionals have mastered the technical vocabulary of their profession, it is necessary to expand their knowledge in other areas.

A broad vocabulary will assist in understanding patients and colleagues using non-technical language and idiomatic expressions. Slang and idioms can be new even for very proficient English speakers.
