Bengaluru: To improve global employability of nurses graduating from Karnataka, the govt will set up foreign language laboratories in all nursing colleges.
“We are being approached by hospitals in Germany, Italy, Japan and the UAE for immediate recruitment of trained nurses and allied health sciences students. These hospitals require candidates proficient in their native languages, and we are taking steps to equip our students accordingly,” said medical education minister Sharan Prakash Patil.
To meet this demand, nursing students will have the option to learn German, Japanese, Italian and English during their course period, ensuring they are better prepared for overseas employment opportunities.
He encouraged professional medical colleges to introduce allied health sciences courses on their campuses to ensure high-quality education with robust teaching and infrastructure.
