Credential Bilingual Healthcare Students with ACTFL®
Turning language skills into workforce-ready credentials.
Healthcare systems across the U.S. are serving increasingly diverse, multilingual communities, yet 82% of providers say they feel unprepared to communicate effectively with patients who have limited English proficiency.
At the same time, hospitals and healthcare organizations are actively seeking bilingual professionals who can bridge this communication gap and improve patient care.
