Abstract

There is a need for qualified medical interpreters in lesser-spoken languages at free or sliding-scale clinics and community-based organizations. We describe the process and cost of training qualified medical interpreters (QMIs) and developing the QMI Workforce Program at no charge to free or sliding-scale clinics/CBOs so they can offer language-concordant health care for patients with limited English proficiency.
