Tottie  +  431850 Wed, 17 Oct 07 09:53 PM I am currently doing a TESOL course with the intention of teaching in Asia from 2008 - as I have a nursing background, and have had an interest in teaching Medical English, especially as I am also involved in medical examinations here in Australia.  The school I am doing my TESOL course says that "business english" training is adequate for Medical English, but I am interested in doing a specific course. I have been told there a positions for teaching medical English in Vietnam - sounds good to me, but I need more info, and would be grateful for any advice.

	Ricardos  +  439595 Tue, 06 Nov 07 07:09 PM I certainly disagree that business English is sufficient to teach medical English. It is not just a question of specific vocabulary but  usage of certain words and expressions in a medical context. Listen to the free material in Talking Medicine and you'll see what I mean.
