Position Overview

Interpreter/Resource Workers provide assistance, guidance and support to patients and their families to navigate through the health care systems at each of the sites within the Winnipeg health region.

All patients have the right to have medical information interpreted into their primary language so they can make informed decisions about their care. The ability to communicate without language barriers improves the quality of care that patients receive, and decreases the risk of medical errors. Our interpreters have special training in medical terminology and function as members of the health care team. They facilitate communication between health providers and patients by providing interpretation in Cree, Ojibway/Saulteaux and Oji-Cree.

The Indigenous Health Program-Health Services is offering an internship program for Interpreter/Resource Workers. This opportunity will prepare and increase the awareness of the duties for an Interpreter/Resource Worker in the health care setting.

One month-Health Sciences Centre.
