Saylor Academy ESL006: English as a Second Language in Healthcare
Saylor Academy ESL006: English as a Second Language in Healthcare is a twelve-hour online course that builds the English a healthcare worker needs. It carries 1.2 CEUs and a free certificate, and runs in six units: healthcare systems and the patients they serve, the professionals who work in them and their roles, basic human anatomy, medical terminology, etiquette and professional communication, and ethics and medical law including HIPAA.
Limits of the Free with Signup Plan: Enrollment is free and asks only for a Saylor Academy account. Once enrolled you reach all six units, the course syllabus, the learning outcomes, the course map and the final exam, and the certificate of completion costs nothing either.
How It Helps Your Business English
The course opens with its syllabus, learning outcomes and course map, and states twelve hours of study for 1.2 CEUs. Unit 1 covers healthcare systems and patient care, Unit 2 the healthcare professionals and their roles, Unit 3 basic human anatomy, Unit 4 medical terminology, Unit 5 etiquette and communication with peers and patients, Unit 6 ethics and medical laws such as HIPAA.
You enroll, then take the units in order, since each one builds on the language of the one before. Unit 4 gives you a way to make sense of a specialized term rather than learning each one separately, and Unit 5 gives you the words for speaking to colleagues and to patients. The ESL Student Resource Hub stays open throughout for extra English material and help with your classes.
