One of the biggest issues for ESL learners can be the inability to understand critical information during important situations, such as when seeking medical attention. Ask Me 3™ is an educational program provided by the Partnership for Clear Health Communication at the National Patient Safety Foundation™ whose goal it is to make it easier for patients to understand their medical situation. As part of this program, their web site provides a free, two page brochure available in six languages that helps patients get the answers they need when they are meeting with their doctor or nurse, preparing for a medical procedure, or getting medicine.
