Mount Sinai St. Luke's Hospital Medical Interpreter Training course
We are pleased to announce the Mount Sinai St. Luke’s
Hospital Language Services Summer 2016 Medical Interpreting Training.
MEDICAL INTERPRETING TRAINING
As a medical interpreter you can make a difference!
The Language Services Department at Mount Sinai St. Luke's
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 Mount Sinai St. Luke's Hospital
on Saturday June 4 and Saturday June 11, both days are from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Enrollment deadline is Wednesday,
June 1st.
Interested candidates should contact Maribel Fiol at
