Introduction:

The Medical Chinese Test (MCT) is a standardized language proficiency test designed to assess the ability of medical students and professionals to communicate effectively in Chinese within clinical environments both in China and abroad. Developed jointly by several notable institutions, the MCT primarily evaluates the proficiency of non-native Chinese speakers, including those studying medical specialties in Chinese outside of China or practicing medicine in Chinese-speaking regions. The test measures one’s aptitude in utilizing Chinese medical terminology and accurately communicating with patients, medical staff, and related personnel in diverse healthcare scenarios.
