Medical Records and Health Information (PMIK) is a profession that plays a vital role in supporting the healthcare system, particularly in managing patient medical data. In an increasingly globalized medical world, English proficiency is crucial, given the abundance of medical literature, international journals, and communication with international medical personnel that utilize English. RSJ. HB Saanin Padang, as a hospital serving patients with special medical needs, certainly requires PMIKs who possess English communication skills. Therefore, developing communicative competence in English is crucial, not only for understanding medical documentation but also in communicating with international medical personnel and to support more efficient administrative processes.
