English Communication for Visiting Scientists
An opportunity for visiting fellows to connect with other international scientists while increasing their comfort in speaking English.
During this two-day workshop we discuss strategies for successful communication, especially in the scientific workplace. We also explore U.S. culture, common greetings, etiquette, and diversity. Participants have the opportunity to practice English conversation in a variety of scientific settings and explore resources to help them continue to improve their English during their time at NIH.
This workshop is for international trainees who have been in the United States less than one year. It is offered every spring and fall in-person and using hybrid formats. Participants must commit to both days of the two-day workshop.
