What is Occupational English Test (OET)?

 The Occupational English Test (OET) is a language proficiency test specifically designed for healthcare professionals who want to work in an English-speaking environment. The test is used to assess the English language skills of doctors, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare professionals in order to evaluate their ability to communicate effectively with patients and colleagues.
The OET is offered in four subtests: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Each subtest is designed to reflect the type of language that healthcare professionals use in their daily work. For example, the listening subtest includes recordings of consultations between healthcare professionals and patients, while the reading subtest includes texts such as patient case notes and discharge summaries.
The OET is recognized by a number of healthcare regulatory authorities, educational institutions, and employers around the world as a reliable indicator of language proficiency for healthcare professionals. It is available in multiple locations around the world and can be taken on a computer or in a paper-based format.
