标题: as an interpreter for patients in hospitals.
Hello everyone,
There has been an increasing demand for people who are fluent in another language other than French or English to act as an interpreter for patients in hospitals. Dawson's Center for Training and Development is offering a workshop to people who are interested in serving as an interpreter for their cultural group in order to learn the skills involved in interpretation of medical information (including intercultural, medical terminology, etc.).
If you are interested or if you know of anyone in your community who may be interested, please pass on this information.
