About Amanda

Empowering International Medical Graduates to Thrive in U.S. Healthcare

Hi, I’m Amanda Mull, an English communication coach specializing in supporting International Medical Graduates as they transition into the U.S. healthcare system. With a Master’s Degree in English, Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, and over a decade of teaching experience, I help new physicians develop the clarity, confidence, and accuracy needed to communicate effectively with patients and colleagues in fast-paced clinical environments.
My work is grounded in both professional expertise and personal experience. Through early interactions my family and I had with physicians, I developed a deep appreciation for how communication shapes trust, understanding, and patient care, especially when cultural and linguistic differences are present. That perspective continues to guide how I support IMGs today.
In U.S. healthcare, clinical knowledge alone isn’t enough. Physicians must navigate complex patient conversations, collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, and interpret a wide range of regional accents and communication styles. My programs are designed to build these skills progressively, starting with strong communication foundations and extending into advanced practice and leadership contexts.
Whether you’re preparing to begin residency or seeking deeper communication support as your responsibilities grow, I offer structured training and individualized guidance to help you communicate with confidence and intention at each stage.

What My Client’s Are Saying

Testimonials

Dr. Cobas

IMG Applying to U.S. Residency Programs
(Edited for brevity)
“As an IMG, the road to residency can be extremely challenging… when interview season finally comes, it’s the moment where all that effort needs to be communicated clearly, confidently, and professionally.
Your coaching made all the difference. You helped me refine not only my answers, but also my presence—how to tell my story, how to highlight my strengths authentically, and how to connect with program directors in a genuine and impactful way.
Thanks to your guidance, I felt confident walking into every interview, knowing I was showing the best version of myself.”

Dr. Vinet

IMG preparing for residency interviews
(Edited for brevity)
“The session was absolutely amazing—it challenged me to think deeply and helped me identify key areas for refinement. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and insightful feedback you provided.
Your guidance throughout this process has been invaluable, and I feel much more confident and prepared for my upcoming interviews because of your support.”

Dr. Guil

Client, 12-session communication program
Amanda has improved my English skills but she is not only an English teacher. With her classes she also gave me other skills to help me improve (I hope) as a doctor, to appear more human and closer to my patients.
In addition, her 12-session programme is a different, targeted and fun way to learn. You see the meaning and applicability of what you learn everyday and the classes are over almost without you noticing.
