The Connecting to Care: Cultural Navigator program provides medical interpreters, patient navigators, cultural navigators, and community health workers 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 medical interpreter and community health worker programs, while also providing experienced interpreters, community health workers, and patient/cultural navigators with new skills to better support patients, community members, and members of the health care 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 navigators, interpreters, and/or community health workers.
