Excellent spoken English needed

• Excellent spoken English must be a requirement.
  Many people outside the few big cities (especially older people) are not used to accents and find it very difficult, if not impossible, to understand English spoken with an accent (even a strong British accent). I find people from India especially difficult to understand, but I live in a small city with few immigrants so have little exposure to accents of any kind.
  A knowledge of Canadian word usage, grammar, and colloquial expressions is also vital. After all, your patients' ability to understand you clearly may be a life & death matter!
  
  All this can be learned, but it will probably require special language coaching to at least reduce your accent.
  
  Can't be bothered? Then stay in your own country.
