An Invitation to Join the Utah Medical Interpreters Listserver
The Utah Department of Health, Tuberculosis Control and Refugee Health, has created a listserver for medical interpreters and others involved with refugee health. The listserver will provide its members an easy way to exchange information and to discuss issues such as:

upcoming medical interpreters' training courses and refresher courses
situations and/or areas where medical interpreters are needed
other issues of concern to medical interpreters
refugee health issues
upcoming workshops, etc. related to medical interpreters and/or refugee health

What does it mean to be a member of this listserver?
As a member of the listserver, you will receive email messages from other members. If you are interested in the message, read it (and reply if you wish); otherwise, delete it. You may also send messages to the listserver that will then be distributed to all members (but you don't have to send messages to be a member of the listserver). Most of the time, you will receive no more than one to two messages from the listserver in a given week.

What are the rules of the listserver?
The ground rules for the listserver are simple:

Respect everyone's privacy. Don't send messages that would allow readers to identify a patient, health care provider or clinic. The only exception to this rule is when a health care provider or clinic wishes to ask for assistance from a member of the listserver.
Please be polite when sending or replying to messages. Don't send messages that belittle or criticize others. If you have a problem with a health care provider or clinic, please contact them directly.
