Introduction
WELCOME
Dr. Diana Ruggiero
Welcome to A guide to Medical Interpreting: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Healthcare. This book is possible thanks to the generosity of the TN Open Education Grant Project – Cycle 3 (“OER Grant”) whose primary purpose is to increase equity in access to quality, no/low-cost educational materials.
In this book, you will find resources for medical interpreting, case scenarios, practice exercises, and more!
I want to give a special thank to Dr. Will Thompson, Dr. Robert Denn, Ms. Glynda Luttman and Ms. Laura Wright
Our amazing team is formed by Trish Lange, McKinlee Deustch, Dr. Carl Hess, and Dr. Fedoria Rugless.
Our project took over a year to be completed, we worked hard on the material selection, the chapter outlines and overall the quality of the content. It is all for you to enjoy and learn at absolutely no cost!
