Description:

Enjoy this webinar for interpreter trainers on teaching cultural competency in health care interpreter training programs. This webinar presents a pedagogical framework and practical strategies that interpreter trainers can use to teach interpreters how to perform cultural medication, rather than act as cultural arbiters themselves. 

After attending this 90-minute webinar, interpreter trainers will be able to:
1.  Identify three key concepts in cultural competence to teach to medical interpreters.
2.  List and become familiar with these steps, sample scripts, and framework for teaching interpreters to perform safe, effective cultural mediation (AKA cultural brokering).
3. Explore the LEARN model as a framework for teaching cultural mediation.
