outstanding to prepare bilingual
individuals to interpret in the
hospital. I encourage them to
attend before they start working
with us.”

instructor’s professionalism and
concern for each participant.”

hands-on and effective than a
week-long medical interpretation
course that I attended with an out-
of-state trainer.”

education and extensive
experience to develop the skills of

native Spanish speaker.”
