Language Liaisons congratulates graduates of the Fall 2017 Medical Interpreting Training: The Community Interpreter International at Chester County Hospital! We are very thankful to the hospital’s Interpreting Services Department. We would especially like to thank Manager Rachel Wittmann for this opportunity and partnership in wanting to make a lasting impact on our collective professional identity through providing this empowering program. Thank you for being so accommodating as we welcomed interpreters of Arabic, French, Gujarati, and Spanish from the states of Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Main points of discussion included managing dual roles, understanding the interpreter’s roles and heavily exploring how culture and personal bias can impact all interpreting encounters. We also got to experience different cultures by sharing a lunch break with some traditional meals and even a presentation of one of the participant’s personally designed clothing line from her country of origin!
Language Liaisons, LLC offers a career changing 40-hour training program for interpreters and translators both in Pennsylvania and Delaware. Our next training is scheduled for Spring 2018. Stay tuned for details! Contact us at 302-521-7626 or visit www.languageliaisons.com for more details.
