Please fell free to pass this along to your interested student body.. 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.
