 “I learned how to become a good interpreter, maintain a professional attitude and be accurate.  I learned how to deal with discrimination and how to serve both the provider and client.” 

J.P., Laotian interpreter


 

Train the Trainer

In fulfilling our role as an educational resource we work closely with clients to help them effectively address their medical interpreter needs. Often that includes training a core group of certified and experienced interpreters as in house “trainers” who will serve as the organization’s ongoing resource for training future interpreters. Our trainer curriculum provides these skilled interpreters with the knowledge and tools needed to assess, motivate, teach and evaluate future medical interpreter students.  Our staff is available to provide on-site training for teaching the “Fundamentals of Medical Interpreting” program.
