Trainers Circle

Are you an interpreter trainer or instructor? Join your colleagues in other institutions in our monthly discussions. The main objective of this group is to serve as a support group for interpreter trainers, instructors, educators, and language coaches, and to promote discussions that will disseminate best practices for professional medical interpreter education.
