Medical Interpreter Training - in the Glades!
August 5th -9th - Now Accepting Applications
Medical Interpreter Training - offered in Belle Glade -August 5-9, 2019
Medical Interpreter Training offered in Belle Glade, FL from August 5-9, 2019

We are currently enrolling bilingual participants in our upcoming Medical Interpreter Training (40 hrs) from Monday, August 5 th - Friday, August 9th in Belle Glade! The flyer and applications are attached. This training is only offered once every few years here in the Glades area of Palm Beach County. Other similar trainings charge much higher registration fees and travel expenses, so don’t miss out on this opportunity! 

The purpose of this training is for bilingual health and human service workers to learn about consecutive interpretation, specialized medical terminology, A&P, common medical problems, code of ethics, multicultural awareness and interpreter skills training. This course is recognized by the IMIA – International Medical Interpreters Association - and it prepares participants to apply for the national certification.

There is a fee for the 40-hour training, however, we are able to negotiate some on the price and we do not want cost to be the prohibitive factor for someone who is otherwise qualified and wants to attend the training. We are very happy to have funding support from the Healthcare District of Palm Beach County which allows us to be more flexible. We can offer major discounts for people and organizations who enroll before by the early bird deadline of July 19, 2019 . All participants must be fully bi-lingual in English and one other language (usually Spanish or Haitian Creole). Scholarships are available for residents in the Glades area. 

Please share this information with anyone and anywhere you think someone might be interested. We would love to have full class on the first day of the training, August 5th.
