In Episode 73, Devon teaches us about the language gap in healthcare and the impact that it has on patients and healthcare workers. She discusses several concerns that manifest due to the language gap in healthcare and shares how she helps bridge that gap with healthcare workers. Devon Bruce is the founder of the English Communication Academy. Since 2020, her groundbreaking Academy has helped many non-native English-speaking doctors communicate effectively with their patients, colleagues, and staff. She recently spoke at the 14th International Healthcare Conference in Dubai, and is the host of "Frustrated to Fluent," which helps non-native speakers thrive in the healthcare field. Her remarkable contributions have earned her two coveted awards on LinkedIn: one being named a Top Voice for Interpersonal Communication and another being named a Top 250+ Rising Star and Upcoming Influencer to Watch. Her company, English Communication Academy, specializes in assisting non-native English-speaking healthcare professionals in enhancing their communication skills. The Academy offers innovative online courses, practice sessions, and expert-led events to equip doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals with the necessary tools for effective communication with patients, colleagues, and staff. Focusing on real-world English that isn't typically taught in textbooks, the Academy helps its members improve their fluency, confidence, and clarity in healthcare settings.
