Healthcare interpreters have long been considered language workers. While it is true that their expertise lies in communication, healthcare  interpreters must also be considered part of the healthcare workforce; and as healthcare workers, interpreters must be familiar with the specialized  knowledge to be safe members of the healthcare team.

  • Become a fully competent and safe member of the health care team.
  • Know how to:
    o Avoid bringing germs to patients in health care setting
    o Avoid bringing germs from health setting into your family and community
    o Avoid being a vector between patients
    o Avoid getting sick yourself
    o Practice hand hygiene effectively and use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
    o Avoid getting hurt, abused, irradiated, depressed 
Sections of the workshop:
  • Infection control concepts, measures, and expectations of all health team members
  • Safety risks and responsibilities as a worker in the health care industry
