Sign Language Interpreting Service Agency, LLC is presenting a second Case Management Training on March 24 for interpreters that provide medical/mental health interpreting for the agency. Since SLISA specializes and excels in medical interpreting the sessions offer support and tools for experienced certified interpreters to work successfully with clients and health care providers.

Other topics include: protocol for emergency room and mental health interpreting, discussion of actual case situations for solutions and approaches, and HIPAA regulations.
