MEDICAL INTERPRETING

 

 

     UAMS AHEC-SW employs two certified medical interpreters trained through the UAMS Regional Programs Medical Interpreting Training Program. Trained Medical Interpreters provide Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals an avenue to communication with their health care provider in order to receive quality care.

 

 

     UAMS AHEC-SW is working to train more bilingual individuals in southwest Arkansas to help reduce the current language barriers in the health care setting for LEP patients.
