Medical interpreters are in great demand both in person and remotely by video or phone. Interpreters can elect to work for a hospital, school, or state agency, or as contractors with many agencies throughout the country. They can also elect to work remotely from home where they can work independently and make their own hours. Open to all languages, this 60-hour program provides working knowledge of medical interpreting, including standards of practice, ethics, HIPAA regulations, cultural competency, and medical terminology/vocabulary. The course provides intense practice via oral role plays on a variety of medical topics. The student will also be introduced to VRI (Video Remote Interpreting) and OPI (Over the Phone Interpreting). Offered in collaboration with TransFluenci EDU, this course is designed for those preparing for entry-level careers as medical interpreters as well as for working interpreters preparing for the National Board Certificate exam. Students must be fully bilingual and must be fluent in English and one other language. This program meets the National Board for Medical Interpreter Certification training requirement and prepares you to pass the national certification exam. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a certificate of completion from the college and may elect to apply for national certification. Certification fees are not included. Students must possess a high school diploma or equivalent. Because a language assessment is required, students must register at least two weeks in advance. No class November 26th.

In the first class I will show you a few patterns. I will show you how to take good measurements and how to read the views and fabric amounts you will need to make your desired garment. First find a simple pattern- they have patterns marked easy or beginner. I want you to have a good experience and not be frustrated with a complicated garment on your early attempts at making clothing. Then measurements can be frustrating and you might think. "that's not my size!" Get the pattern that includes your largest measurements. DON'T be scared off by large sounding sizes. You want to make something that fits you! I recommend woven cotton or cotton blend fabric and wash the fabric before you come to class, you don't want to make a garment and then wash it to find it shrinks. Knit fabrics are nice but not good for a beginner sewer. Satin and rayon are lovely but have some challenges to work with. Raw silk is very nice but tends to be expensive and may make the beginner sewer nervous. Polar fleece is relatively easy to work with although quite thick.
