sTANDEMWhat is sTANDEM?

• Amazing and highly prestigious, colossal project founded by a consortium of several top universities in Europe as well as University of Tokyo - + Elanguest!! (representing the world-wide EFL industry).

• Many top level partners such as: WHO, Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins, Center for Disease Control (USA), National Institute of Health (USA), and the NEJM just to mention a few.

• Elanguest is the only English Language School in the world involved in this project.

• The project: sTANDEM is an initiative undertaken to develop a Standardised Language Certificate for Medical Purposes. This system is intended to promote, assess and certify the command of professional English among health care professionals worldwide. It will provide hospitals and other health institutions where English is the language of communication who plan to employ staff, research fellows or externs whose first language is not English with sound information about their English language proficiency in a professional context.

• It is envisaged that this certification will probably become a mandatory requirement in all medical Universities for courses for doctors, pharmacists and nurses in the EU and beyond.

• Needless to say, accuracy in communications between health care professional has ramifications both for patients’ wellbeing, as well as for health-care professionals (e.g. doctors, pharmacist, nurses), in view of the ever increasing threat of medico-legal actions...
