The title reads: “Interpreting Healthcare: Building Skill, Confidence & Access.” Below that: “Hosted by Genesee Valley Region RID (GVRRID).”

The flyer states that the weekend is designed to strengthen medical knowledge, sharpen interpreting skills, and improve health literacy so everyone feels informed and empowered in healthcare settings.

A section titled “This weekend is for:” lists:

• New interpreters who want to get their feet wet in medical interpreting

• Seasoned interpreters looking to expand their toolbox and continue learning

• Deaf community members who want to grow health literacy and self-advocacy

Event dates: Friday, April 17 – Sunday, April 19.
Location: TBD
More details coming soon including presenters, schedule, registration, and CEUs pending approval.

The background is lilac and purple, with small medical-themed icon

Message from the Terp Talk Coordinator:

Hello Everyone! 

GVRRID and SIA are putting on a Mentor/Mentee Meet and Greet event. This allows for a great opportunity for students to network and meet professional interpreters working in the community. 

The event will be on March 18h from 7 pm to 9 pm. It will be hosted in LBJ room 3355.

We want to see and hear from you, so please RSVP here. Remember, a future generation of Thinkers, Makers, and Doers is waiting to be inspired by YOU! Thank you for your support and for continuing to develop the next generation of interpreters.

Spread the good luck and send this open invitation to every Interpreter you know.  Our community's strength and richness deepen with each new member's contribution. All are welcome!
