The course is taught by a licensed, American physician, linguist, and native speaker, and includes visits to and/or hands-on presentations by select, local medical, nursing, and/or health-related practitioners, offices, and/or institutions. Students may elect to take the course for two American university semester credits from Weber State University (Ogden, Utah). The credits are transferable to most American colleges and universities.

Students in EHP range from 20 to 50 years old, though the course is applicable to any student who has graduated from high school has a sufficient TOEFL score. We suggest a combination of EHP and private tutoring to develop a specific medical, nursing, pharmacy, and/or veterinary study or licensure plan.

Students may elect to volunteer at one of over 20 select, local, health-related sites (this is optional).

Entrance Requirement
