At Massachusetts Medical Interpreter Training, we integrate cultural awareness and competency principles throughout our courses for beginning and advanced medical interpreters. We believe, however, that employees at all levels and in all positions of healthcare organizations should understand and be able to apply these concepts.
Our cultural awareness consulting services are designed to help organizations achieve the goals of completely and consistently meeting the needs of diverse patient populations, especially those not fluent in English, and supporting the efforts of medical interpreters. We work in collaboration with the UMass Chan Medical School program that has expertise in the area.
We are subject matter experts in health care and medical interpreting, providing tailored consulting services to support language access in health care organizations nationwide.
Our Consulting Services include:
- Expert guidance on interpreting, translation, and specialized language access solutions for health care organizations.
- Assessing language access needs based on Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) standards to enhance patient communication.
- Developing comprehensive language access plans to ensure compliance with Section 1557 and other regulatory requirements.
- Enhancing interpreter team capabilities through our specialized Train-the-Trainer program.
