At RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration (CNI), we understand that many internationally educated health professionals have busy lives. Whether you’re working, caring for your family, or juggling other responsibilities, our health language programs are designed to fit your schedule and help you build the communication skills needed to succeed in Canada’s healthcare system. 

Flexibility That Fits Around Your Life 

What sets CNI’s health language programs apart is the freedom to choose when you attend class. Unlike traditional programs where students follow a fixed schedule, CNI offers multiple sessions of the same class – all in an engaging online format. This means you can attend different sessions depending on your availability, whether that’s during the day or in the evening. It’s perfect for busy students who may need to switch between sessions from one week to the next. 

For example, Iryna Tkachenko, a nurse from Ukraine, shared how the flexibility helped her: “The ability to attend different class sessions allowed me to continue working and balance my responsibilities. I didn’t have to worry about missing out if something came up—I could just join another session.” 

This flexibility also means that students can participate in classes while managing other responsibilities. Whether you’re cooking dinner, caring for your family, or working a part-time job, you can still attend and engage in these courses without missing a beat. And if life gets in the way, recorded sessions and course materials are available for you to catch up when it’s convenient. 

Better Communication, Better Career Opportunities 

These flexible programs don’t just fit into your life—they help you build the skills that lead to better job opportunities. CNI’s health language programs focus on improving communication in real healthcare settings, from interacting with patients to collaborating with colleagues. The courses also cover intercultural competence, which helps you better understand and navigate the Canadian healthcare environment. 

Nagwan Abdellattif, a pharmacy manager and graduate of the program, emphasized how the skills she gained helped her career. “Before taking the courses, I wasn’t confident about my English skills. But after completing the communication training at CNI, I felt much more confident speaking with both patients and colleagues,” she said. 

Whether you’re a nurse, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional, CNI’s health language programs equip you with the communication skills you need to succeed and grow in Canada’s healthcare industry.
