Having competencies in writing English is crucial for Internationally Educated Health Professionals as it can impact patient safety and care, as well as their own professional development. Poor writing skills can lead to miscommunication and incomplete or inaccurate documentation, which could make it difficult for healthcare professionals to understand a patient's history or treatment plan. It can also affect the confidence and credibility of health professionals and limit their opportunities for professional growth. Finally, inaccurate or unclear written instructions can lead to challenges in following protocols and procedures, which could negatively impact patient care. The English for Health Professionals program focuses on improving writing skills to mitigate these risks and enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare professionals.
