We are pleased to announce the Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital Language Services Winter 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
February 6 and Saturday February 13 both days are from 9:00 am to 4:00
pm. Enrollment deadline is Wednesday,
January 27.
Interested candidates should contact Maribel Fiol at mfiol@chpnet.org.
