Hi David. Not sure if this is the type of thing you're looking for, but
we developed a short facilitated curriculum for dialysis workers that
focuses on communication skills. These are verbal skills, not literacy,
though. You can view/download it from
www.esrdnet5.org
click on the black & white logo for Training Modules, on the left-hand
bar.

Colleagues,

I am looking for online healthcare basic skills (including ESOL)  
curriculum (in English) -- for healthcare workers to use directly,  
not for teachers to download and use with students.  I do not mean  
curriculum about health issues.  I mean basic skills lessons,  
modules, or units embedded in the context of health care _work_ for  
health care workers..  These could be self-instructional in format,  
or facilitated courses, but they must be online, and they must be  
useful to working adults.  The curriculum can be commercial or free.

This may be a tall order.  So far I haven't found much.  Your leads  
are appreciated.  If you send me something that fits the criteria, I  
will add it to my (now short) list and will send you a copy of the (I 

hope soon to be longer) list as an incentive.

Thanks for your help.
