Support a qualified medical interpreter candidate
At CCHCP, we believe that one of the best ways to combat health disparities is through increasing access to quality health services by ensuring better communication between patients and providers. Our Bridging the Gap (BTG) Medical Interpreter Training Program has been instrumental in providing the key training curriculum and tools necessary for thousands of interpreters working in health care today. We are asking you to give an opportunity to a qualified candidate to participate in our 2009 BTG training. All contributions made during the month of December 2008 will be used exclusively to support tuition aid for qualified candidates. Please donate online through our secure donation page, or send your contribution to: BTG Scholarship Fund, 4700 42nd Ave SW, Suite 580, Seattle, WA 98116. All donations are tax deductible.

A new series of advanced training workshops has been developed by the Cross Cultural Health Care Program. Designed to be taught in an 8-hour format, the trainings focus on strategies to end health disparities and on achieving health equity for medically-underserved communities. Each of the advanced trainings is presented with short background information and learning objectives. A variety of interactive instructional methods will be utilized to deliver the content. Relevant case scenarios will assist in skills building. The recommended strategies will enhance effective cross cultural communications and the creation and sustaining of effective personal and professional partnerships for health, social and human services.
