The Occupational English Test (OET) is currently in the process of looking for medical professionals to help us create materials for the Nursing sub-tests.

The OET The OET is a language test for qualified health practitioners to gain provisional registration to practise in an English-speaking context, predominantly Australia. It assesses English language proficiency as it is used in medical and health professional settings and is recognized by DIAC. Creation of Sub-tests We are currently in need of nursing practitioners to help create sub-tests that reflect current nursing practice and issues. We are able to pay $150 for expert content input (review of 2 writing tasks or 8 role-play prompts). Most of this can be done by email; practitioners do not need to be in Melbourne we can use Skype or phone. Writing and Speaking Tasks The tasks are as follows: For Writing, candidates are presented with case notes & instructions, and must write a defined letter. For Speaking they perform two short role-plays, which are recorded.

Sample materials can be found at http://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/Display.aspx?tabid=2425
