Clients throughout Massachusetts and across the country effectively address their needs for medical interpreters with the help of our train-the-trainer program, delivered in conjunction with the national Area Health Education Center network. After a core group of qualified and experienced interpreters receives the training they can serve as in-house trainers for other staff members and volunteers. These trainers’ ability to train additional future interpreters becomes an essential resource for their organizations.

Our staff provides on-site training to enable these trainers to teach our 60-hour Fundamentals of Medical Interpreting course.

Our train-the-trainer curriculum provides these already-skilled interpreters with the knowledge and tools to be able to competently assess, motivate, teach, and evaluate future medical interpreter students. 

Discussion during our full-day session includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Guidelines and objectives for the session
• Principles of adult learning
• Role of the trainer
• Different learning styles
• Techniques for responding to needs of different types of learners
• Experiential learning cycle
• Open- and closed-ended questions
• Constructive feedback
• Student assignments
