We are going to develop an ESL bridge curriculum to Allied Health
Courses for careers such as Medical Assistant, Nurses' Assistant,
Nursing, Phlebotomy Technician or Dental Assistants. I would appreciate
any information on current ESL curricula or on programs offered in the
NYC area I could visit.  Another question I have for ESL practitioners
is what were the goals of your courses and how did they differentiate
from similar courses geared towards native speakers?

Thanks very much,
Melinda Thomsen
