The Bureau of Epidemiology will be offering a 5-day “Bridging the
Gap” medical interpreter training course in the month of May, 2012. This
training will be held at the Cannon Health Building 288 North 1460 West, Salt
Lake City, on the following days: 5/10-11, 5/17-18 and 5/24. Classes will begin
promptly at 8:00 am and will continue until 5:00 pm.
There will be no registration fee to attend this training and the
course materials will be provided to you free of charge. Participants will be
expected to attend the course in its entirety. In addition to being fluent
in English, all applicants MUST be fluent in a second language and
must be willing to act as medical interpreters. Priority will be given to
applicants who work within the refugee health, Tuberculosis control, HIV, STD
& Hepatitis prevention settings. Participants who miss any portion of the
training will be required to leave the course materials and the training.
All participants who attend the entire forty-hour training and
successfully complete the final exam will receive a certificate of completion.

out the attached application (http://www.health.utah.gov/cdc/tbrefugee/medical_interpreters.htm)
and return it by March 30, 2012. Enrollment is limited to 20
