Many organizations have multi-lingual staff who could serve as interpreters – with the proper training. University of Michigan Health Services (UMHS) Interpreter Services offers a course – Medical Terminology & Body Systems – to teach your staff the skills they need to interpret competently. Mastering complex medical terms can be hard. Our Medical Terminology and Body Systems course makes it easier. This course is open to everyone, and the materials and instructions are presented in English only.
This 40 hour course teaches the Word-Building technique – a quick and easy way to learn challenging terminology. The class also teaches basic medical knowledge, preparing interpreters to work in healthcare settings and pass medical interpreter certification exams. It is open to everyone, and the materials and instructions are presented in English only.
The course costs $280 ($265 for UMHS interpreters). Books and lunch are included if you take the full course.

Wasn't a major portion of the deficit a result of the failure of students to repay $$$millions in…Read More student loans? There is a rumor that HFCC wants to forgive those loans and pass on the debt to Dearborn taxpayers. Was there due diligence regarding the awarding of these loans?

Hasn't even worked one day? Not one day in 15 years? Really? Not even credit for one day?
When I…Read More worked at the Press & Guide (which eliminated my position in a budget restructuring that has continued under various corporate owners at the P&G for a decade and a half, resulting in them moving their offices to Southgate and more recently just out-and-out eliminating their editor, sports editor and photographer) we had a policy of no anonymous letters to the editor. This was done because, while everyone has the right to express their opinion, putting a real name with an opinion meant people displayed more decorum and, well, less cowardice than is allowed in online comments from the shadows.
Joseph, the benefit of post-employment health care after just eight years of service may have, in the early 1990s, been more acceptable in some way I can't figure (retention of key department heads has been cited as a reason, as was that it apparently mirrored a benefit for state officials), but it clearly was part of the excesses of Wayne County that was unjustifiable and unsustainable in the 2000s. This practice was ended two years ago by a resolution I introduced.
