— THE PROBLEM, THE PRACTICE
What gets in the way, and the practice for it.
Three things that stop people at this goal, each beside the practice planned to remove it. Each row says whether it runs today or waits for the tutor's early access.
-
Patient communication errors in a second language are high-stakes — imprecise vocabulary is not just inefficient, it is dangerous.
Patient communication practice
The tutor will walk through consultations, history taking and explaining a diagnosis as written scenarios, so the real encounter isn't also a language lesson.
Patient conversations Early access
-
Clinical literature and protocols are written in dense academic English that non-native speakers must decode before they can act on them.
Clinical reading comprehension
Reading practice will build the speed and precision to work through clinical literature, protocols and guidelines.
Clinical reading Early access
-
International healthcare settings require confident real-time communication under pressure, not textbook politeness.
Medical vocabulary
Vocabulary practice will build the terms clinical work leans on, in context, not as a generic wordlist.

— WHAT YOU GET
Every score on one scale.
Whatever the goal, the engine underneath is the one schools and teams run today: eight skills, each with its own score, on the CEFR scale from A1 to C2.

Running in teams today
One learner, every course.
- Every course, with its score
- Its attempts, and whether it was handed in
- Late work, marked Late
Carna for Business runs on the same engine today. One learner's record shows every course with its score, its attempts and what was handed in, and the speaking and writing practice counted. Hospitals and training providers can book a demo now.
One learner's record, course by course: each course's score and attempts, whether it was handed in, and the piece that came in late. Carna's trainer and learner app, shown with a sample school's demo data.
FAQ
Common questions.
Straight answers, including what the individual tutor can and cannot do yet.
Will Carna suit nurses as well as doctors?
Yes. The path is written for anyone whose work is patient communication, clinical reading and professional writing, which is nurses as much as doctors. Role-specific scenario sets, such as handover briefings, are not something we promise yet.
Will Carna cover OET (Occupational English Test) preparation?
The tutor will practise the skills OET tests — patient communication, clinical reading, professional writing — but practice written to OET's own task formats is not something we promise yet.
What level of English do I need to start?
You can start at any level. Carna's material begins at A1 and runs to C2, and the clinical vocabulary and communication practice will build on whichever level you are at.
EARLY ACCESS
First in line when it opens.
Carna's personal tutor will cover all eight skills from A1 to C2, and it is not open to individual learners yet. The early-access list is how you get in first: one quiet email when it opens, no drip campaign.
