SUMMARY:Medical Interpreting for Patients with Serious Illness - Interpreting in Palliative Care
DESCRIPTION:Palliative Care is the medical specialty that focuses on improving quality of life and relieving physical and emotional suffering for people who are experiencing a serious illness.

This is a unique opportunity for Hawaiʻi\, don’t miss it. \n\n\n\nThis interactive seven-hour in-person workshop is designed to prepare experienced\, trained medical interpreters to work in palliative care settings in Hawaiʻi.
