Hi, I am a nurse from the U.S. who arrived in Madrid this week to study Spanish, take a TEFL course and then hopefully teach English ("under the table") to Medical Professionals. Does anyone have any advice, expereince or contact information you'd be able to share about pursuing such students? Thanks!

Please let me know how that is working out, because my plan is to do the same with professionals in the legal field

Yes, Lisa and I sure will keep you posted on the progress as they unfold. I will start the Teaching program first and she will be in the Spanish program first. We should be able to give you some insight on both...Plus an idea on how to get a variety of students. Others that have been in Madrid longer and on the board should have more on this now.

FYI.
I just received a message from another local Dago. She will also be going to Madrid to take the TEFL program and is in my class. SMALL WORLD!! I will make sure to invite her to the V-Ball in the park on the 14th.

IT'S ALMOST HERE!!!

Any news on teaching the 'medical professionals'?

I franchised with Alexander International in Athens and wrote a course for them 6 months ago. The money is slowly trickling in from it.

My plan for Madrid is to teach Business and Medical English freelance.

Great link Tony. Thanks.

The problem I've had in the past regarding teaching Med terminology to Pharmaceutical companies/med professionals is 'which side of the pond do they want to go and work on?'

eg: British v American / Adrenaline v Epinephrine

The list is endless....

The course I wrote has back to back pages in the literature - one for British and one for American - the hardest part was the spellings...

eg: colour v color etc...


I'd like to get in touch with you when in Madrid if that's OK with you :cheers:

Interesting, I am a Pre-Radiography student, but I am looking travel to Spain first for awhile to do the TEFL thing. Do you know anything about the Medical system in Spain? I know that as a U.S. RT I could transfer my skills to Canada and Australia, but I am not sure about any European countries. I wonder if nursing is any different, if so it would be an a good way to earn a living abroad.

Heres a site that I thought could be of interest to you. It gives information on requirements for profesionales de sanidad especializados. go to this website www.msc.es and then click on right side of the page where ti states informacion al profesional then go down to find formacion sanidad especializada . I hope this helps.
