Approach

The MedVerse, three-educational partners will be meeting in Greenville, SC, after the instructors return from the Health Care Interpreter Instructor Training Institute in Oakland to discuss the collaborative effort among the three colleges. It has already been proposed that the site for the course will take place at the University Center in Greenville, located on the campus of Greenville Technical College. The University Center offers various programs by several colleges from South Carolina. This existing collaboration offers students the advantage of a local campus plus credit reciprocity among its educational members. Part of the MedVerse educational collaboration is to bring to the discussion table the healthcare institutions in the area in order to establish medical-educational partnerships where the healthcare institutions will have a place to send their employees for training. Once the medical interpretation program is designed, MedVerse will issue a Press Release both in English and Spanish to alert the media of the new courses. MedVerse will use the existing relationship between the educational institutions and the high schools in the area to further diffuse the medical interpretation program.
