VOLUNTEER MEDICAL INTERPRETING TRAINING

 

As a medical interpreter you can make a difference!

 

 The Language Services Department at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center

 has developed a two day training program to enable participants 

 to acquire basic interpretation skills in the medical setting. Trained 

 volunteer interpreters assist providers to meet the health care needs 

 of our culturally diverse patients. A trained medical interpreter 

 contributes to better health outcomes, better communication between 

 provider and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients, increased 

 clinician and patient satisfaction, and reduced legal risks. This 

 program meets the requirements of the New York Department of Health 

 and adheres to federal mandates and guidelines on cultural and 

 linguistic appropriate health care.

 

 The training will take place at St. Luke's Hospital on Saturday 

 January 30 and Saturday February 6, both days from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

 

 Enrollment deadline is January 15 and is open to all Columbia 

 University students.  Interested candidates should contact Ana 

 Bravo, [log in to unmask] or Maria Carla Faccini, [log in to unmask]
