Quarterly Open Call on Medical Interpreting



Organized by the Outreach Committee of
the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC)



Join us on Friday, February 8th for a discussion on
Training Mental Health Interpreters



On December's Open Call, we discussed how mental health interpreting
differs from straight medical interpreting. We also heard about three
different training programs for interpreters in mental health venues.
This month, in response to popular demand, we would like to invite
participants to SHARE IDEAS AND RESOURCES for training interpreters
working in mental health venues.



Call date: Friday, February 8, 2007



Time: Sign-on starting at 8:50 A.M. PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.
The call itself will run from 9:00 am- 10:30 am PST (11:00 am - 12:30 pm
CST, 12:00 noon - 1:30 pm EST)



Program: This call will focus on sharing resources for training
interpreters to work in mental health venues. Before signing
on, you may want to read the attached minutes from last month's call.
Also, PLEASE BRING WITH YOU TO THE CALL ANY RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE TO
SHARE: curricula, names of institutions with training on this topic,
written or on-line resources about mental health or mental health
interpreting.
