| Description: | Our 24-hour online comprehensive training course Attendees are healthcare interpreters, bilinguals, public school family liaisons, public school administrative teams , interpreters who want to interpret in educational settings. This 24-hour program aims to prepare bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters for the context of where they will be interpreting. Bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters will learn and have an understanding on a variety of topics, such as public and private schools, Interdepartmental School District Structures, they'll get an overview of the minimum qualifications to work as a public school interpreter, we'll cover language access laws and how they are related to educational interpreting, we'll discuss parent engagement and its opportunities and how it's connected to the interpreting world in the context of education; we'll dive into the types of meeting assignments and the settings that they could potentially encounter and how to best provide interpreting services; we'll review the different roles of educational interpreters; the codes of Ethics currently followed in the educational settings; I'll introduce techniques and strategies for managing the flow of communication during meetings; we'll review the modes of interpreting in educational settings; additionally, we'll go through what interpreting in education is mostly known for Special Education; its purposes and processes; We'll go over all the common acronyms and the important terminology for interpreting in the educational setting; for context, we'll discuss a list of IEP eligibility requirements and disabilities so that you can get familiar with these terms and process; and last but not least, we will cover professional development and resources for bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters as a trained qualified interpreter working in the educational settings. Throughout this course, you will encounter highlighted terminology that would be important for bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters to remember and get familiar with. We will run through practice activities to help bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters get more familiar with some of the content, and of course, we couldn't offer a robust training program without including module quizzes and a final exam to test your understanding. As you can already see, it takes much more than fluency in two languages to interpret in this setting. The goal of this program is to give bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters a deep dive into what they could expect walking into an interpreting assignment in an educational setting, but also to provide you with the tools they need to perform your role as the Interpreter with confidence, context, and professionalism. |

| Description: | Our medical interpreter training program offers an immersive experience designed to prepare candidates for the demands of medical interpretation. The program covers foundational knowledge and provides extensive opportunities for practical application, with lessons integrating real-world interpreting exercises. By the end, participants will be equipped to navigate medical settings confidently.
A key focus is on practical skills. Candidates engage in role-playing exercises that mimic healthcare interactions, allowing them to apply their knowledge of medical terminology, communication techniques, and cultural awareness. This blend of theory and practice ensures participants develop the intellectual and practical skills needed to excel.
Mastering healthcare language is also emphasized. Candidates become fluent in medical terminology, learning to apply it effectively when interpreting between patients and healthcare providers. By the end of the training, students will have a solid understanding of medical language to facilitate accurate communication.
Cultural competence is another cornerstone. Interpreters must bridge cultural differences that may influence communication. Our curriculum focuses on understanding these differences and how they impact medical interactions. Candidates learn to approach these situations with empathy, ensuring clear communication despite cultural barriers.
The program also emphasizes critical thinking through case studies and real-world scenarios. Candidates practice assessing situations and choosing effective interpreting strategies, preparing them for complex, high-pressure scenarios in the field.
In addition to language and culture, the program covers the U.S. healthcare system. Candidates learn about various medical environments, from hospitals to outpatient clinics, and the different communication needs in each. This knowledge is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing miscommunication.
Ethics is central to the training. Candidates are instructed on ethical standards, such as impartiality and confidentiality, and on legal requirements like patient privacy regulations (HIPAA). This prepares them for real-world challenges, helping them maintain professionalism while upholding ethical and legal responsibilities.
The emotional aspects of medical interpreting are also addressed. Interpreters frequently work in distressing situations, so the program offers strategies for maintaining professionalism in emotionally charged encounters. This helps interpreters manage the emotional demands of the job, reducing burnout over time.
This training offers a pathway to certification, instilling a strong sense of responsibility. With a solid foundation in ethics, cultural competence, and medical knowledge, graduates are equipped to deliver high-quality services, fostering trust between healthcare providers and patients. |
