Programs are intended for adults in the medical professions, doctors, nurses, medical students, pharmacists, medical technicians and other professions where medical terminology and usage is needed.

The Institute is operated according to the methods and philosophy of Pikku Vichert. Pikku is a highly respected professional trained in medicine with over 20 years of ESL experience. She has researched all the standard methods of instruction and adapted them to her own philosophy of learning. She believes that students learn best if they are thoroughly engaged and actively enjoying the process.

Pikku feels that participation is of prime importance in order to facilitate the interaction between students and teacher, and therefore she does not have classes larger than four students. This is an Institute for students who really want to learn. Pikku believes that learning is best achieved with a mixture of intense learning and more relaxed practice. Therefore her curriculum has half a day of concentrated teaching and the other half of the student’s day is occupied with less intense learning activities that complement and consolidate what was learned during the half-day of dynamic instruction.

Hours of instruction are 9:00 AM to 12:00PM and 1:00PM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday. The School is open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM so that students can use the facilities including internet and library. The modular course structure allows students to enter the program at any time. There is a four-month diploma program and one, two and three month certificate programs. We can also accommodate students with special scheduling requirements such as the one and two day presentation preparation programs.
