Working Effectively with Interpreters

During the session we will review issues pertinent to provider – limited English proficient client/patient communication and ethical and legal requirements supporting use of professional interpreters. LANA can bring its existing training program to you, or we can tailor the training to your organization’s needs.
Effective Use of Bilingual Skills
LANA can assist your bilingual staff in defining their bilingual role within their organization with a clear differentiation between the role of interpreter and bilingual worker. The training will be tailored to your needs.
