Accents International, LLC (Past Sponsor)

Accents International (AccInt) specializes in accent modification training for International Medical Graduates (IMGs). We are dedicated to creating a world where everyone is heard™.

All too often U.S. healthcare is divided by a common language: English. While the diverse accents of IMGs add richness to our workforce, the complexities of English pronunciation often negatively impact communication and patient rapport.

AccInt partners with leading hospitals and U.S. medical schools, making it possible for providers for whom English is a second language to speak with clarity, confidence, and ease. AccInt’s Powerful Pronunciation™ training program teaches non-native English speakers articulation techniques for the sounds in English that do not occur in other languages. Powerful Pronunciation™ minimizes communication barriers while maintaining each provider’s unique cultural identity.

The results are transformative: improved patient-centered communication, increased provider confidence and engagement, more effective delivery of healthcare, and higher HCAHPS survey scores.
