This self-paced workshop equips healthcare providers and public service staff with the essential skills to work seamlessly with interpreters, reduce communication errors, and enhance service access.
In this course, participants will explore reducing health disparities through language access, delving into the impact of social determinants of health on Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations and the critical role of language access in achieving health equity. Gain deeper knowledge of various US LEP populations, their healthcare access barriers, relevant laws and regulations mandating language services, and the significance of collaborating with trained interpreters. Real-life case studies vividly illustrate the practical impact of language access on healthcare quality and access. Join us in championing health equity and effective communication with LEP clients.
