Education for Foreign Medical Professionals

The Stanley Academy is a specialized English language institution located in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada). We offer classes in Medical English, which includes instruction in Medical Terminology and English for clinical settings, as well as preparatory classes for Medical licensing exams (Medical Council of Canada Exams – MCCEE & MCCQE I & II, as well as USMLE Step I, II and III) and the Canadian Registered Nurses Exam. We also can arrange for you to have hands-on experience in your field of training through a shadowing experience/internship program. Our classes are small, our courses intensive, our instructors are all trained medical professionals, and the overall atmosphere is personalized, friendly and conducive to learning.

Our instructors have compiled their experience teaching clinical skills to develop an exceptional textbook for the instruction of foreign medical professionals detailing how to take a patient’s medical history. It is a unique, step-by-step guide of the patient interview process. It incorporates clinical scenarios that offer you the chance to practice taking a focused history for many common diseases, or symptom presentations. Example questions and replies allow you to see what both the doctor should ask, and common patient responses. This is a very useful instruction guide for medical professionals who wish to interact with English speaking patients.

We have begun using this textbook in all our classes and have received only positive feedback from our students. We are now making this textbook available for purchase by the general public. Please email us at info@stanleyacademy.ca to order your copy.
