Hospital Volunteer Interpreter Training
We are pleased to announce the St. Luke’s –
Roosevelt Language Services Winter Volunteer Interpreting Training.
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. Interested candidates should contact Ana
Bravo,
