Immigrant health professionals in the US seeking to reenter or advance in health professions need more than English medical terminology to effectively communicate and succeed in the workplace. We have developed an extensive, integrated curriculum based on the identified needs of this diverse population that incorporates meaningful content, critical thinking, and personal and professional development throughout the learning experience. The English Health Train presents an exciting and successful new model of supporting immigrant health professionals to integrate into health careers in the US and, in turn, contribute to a more linguistically and culturally competent health-care workforce.
