We are pleased to announce the St. Luke’s – Roosevelt Language Services Fall 2011 Volunteer Interpreting Training.
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 October 8 and Saturday October 15, both days from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Enrollment deadline is Friday, September 23rd and is open to all Columbia University students.
Interested candidates should contact Maribel Fiol at mfiol@chpnet.org
