Does It Matter If an Interpreter Is Male or Female?

Here at In Every Language, we try to take gender into account when assigning interpreters for patients who speak Arabic. As one of our interpreters explains in this video (sorry in advance for the low audio quality), it truly does make a difference.

Grant Opportunities for Medical Clients

We don't find out about grant opportunities as often as we'd like here at In Every Language, but when we do, we certainly like to pass them along.

Please note that the information below was provided to us by Julia Puebla Fortier, a moderator with Diversity Rx's CLAS list-serv.  I have not personally looked into these Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grants, so I can't vouch for how accessible they are or aren't, but I certainly welcome any feedback you'd like to provide on them in the comments section.

Thank you!
