About the Program
The Connecting to Care: Patient Guide program provides medical interpreters with new skills and professional development opportunities. This training program combines the principles of workforce development and the field of patient navigation to build the internal capacity of existing interpreter programs, while also providing experienced interpreters with new skills to better support their patients and the treatment team.
The Training of Trainers (ToT) course prepares trainers to conduct Connecting to Care trainings in their organizations and communities. The course is appropriate for staff members of agencies and organizations that employ interpreters in medical settings.
