Maya Language Pilot a Success

TLC Training Specialist Richard Ponce de Leon and Director of Vanderbilt Interpreter Services Hope Collins recently presented to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Office of Health Equity. The presentation, Expanding Mayan Indigenous Language Resources for Vanderbilt Health, provided a brief description of the two 10-hour interpreter training courses we offered to speakers of indigenous languages in 2024.
The training was supported by Vanderbilt’s Health Equity Innovation Awards (HEIA). HEIA support projects that help improve healthcare for underserved communities.
