Open Door Clinic Medical Interpreter Training

Can you speak Spanish? Are you an EMT? The Open Door Clinic, based in Middlebury, provides access to quality healthcare services, free of charge, to uninsured and under-insured adults in Addison County. This fall, we are looking for people who can either speak Spanish or who are certified EMTs (whether fluent in Spanish or not). The training will provide information about the clinic, the population it serves and techniques on how to be a medical interpreter, facilitating communication between Spanish-speaking patients and English-speaking medical providers. Contact Chris Kokubo, ckokubo@opendoormidd.org, to get a volunteer application and for more information.
