OET: The English Exam for Healthcare Workers

Healthcare workers are in demand across the world, and countries are competing for doctors, nurses, veterinarians, all sorts of medically trained professionals. If your dream is to head to the United States, Canada, Australia, the UK, or any other English-speaking country, you may need the OET: the Occupational English Test. It's built around clinical communication.Suzanne, a certified OET examiner, former healthcare professional, and experienced teacher, walks us through common OET mistakes: doctors using too much jargon, candidates jumping straight into timed practice tests, writing “in view of the above” filler, changing a provisional diagnosis in the prompt, and retaking the exam too quickly without knowing what went wrong. For healthcare workers preparing for the OET, this is a great strategy session to listen to before starting your preparation.
