 ILSC is offering a new program designed for medical students and professionals who want to develop their medical English. Formerly offered at the Vancouver Medical English Institute, this very unique program was developed by an ESL instructor with a background in occupational therapy. Past graduates of the program have been able to share research and experiences with other professionals, present their work at medical conferences, teach Medical English in their home countries, and add a valuable new set of skills to their résumés. ILSC is excited to bring this specialized program to our Vancouver campus starting this March!
Please see the Medical English Program Page for more details. | |

| ILSC Global "Help Japan" Campaign Raises over $30,000 for Red Cross
As a global language school, ILSC teaches students from around the world, and Japanese students generally make up between 10-15% of the student body. Being away from home during the earthquake and tsunami crisis has been a challenge for these students. Many of them have gone through the stress of wondering what is going on back home, and what they can do to help. On March 16th, ILSC started a fundraising campaign to contribute to the Japan relief efforts, and give students, staff and teachers the opportunity to get involved. The global "Help Japan" campaign raised $15,357 over a two-week period which is being matched by ILSC, for a total Red Cross contribution of $30,715.
