This article explores the design of a Medical English ESP course for Uzbek nurses with B1-level English proficiency according to the CEFR. The participants work in hospitals and have diverse motivations: some communicate with foreign patients locally, while others plan to migrate to English-speaking countries. The study draws on two ESP course models (Nickerson’s Language in the Workplace and Northcott’s English for Lawyers) as frameworks for course design, combining macro-level structure and micro-level task-based planning. Needs analysis includes questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, and observations to align the course with workplace communication requirements. The course employs problem-based learning, genre and discourse analysis, and authentic tasks to develop nurses’ speaking, reading, writing, and professional English skills. Assessment integrates diagnostic, formative, and summative methods. The study highlights how learner-centered and context-specific ESP course design can support professional communication and language development in the medical field.
