The Utah Department of Health Bureau of Epidemiology will be offering a 5-day
“Bridging the Gap” medical interpreter training course in October 17-18, Nov
1-2 and 8, 2012. This training will be
held at the Department of Workforce Service (DWS) at 1385 State Street, Salt
Lake City, Utah. Classes will begin promptly at 8:00 am and will continue
until 4:00 pm.
There will be no registration fee to attend this training
and the course materials will be provided to you free of charge. However, 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 setting. 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. If you have staff whom you
think could benefit from this course, please fill out the application
and return it by September 7, 2012.
Enrollment is limited to 20 participants, so, it is critical that only
those persons willing to commit to the entire forty-hour course apply.
If you have questions concerning this course or would like an application,
please feel free to contact Jelena Pasalik by email at jpasalic@utah.gov or at (801) 538-6977. We look forward to seeing your applications.
