Ivy Tech Community College’s Warsaw site will host “Bridging the Gap,” medical interpreter training, in October. This training prepares bilingual individuals to work as medical interpreters. Ball State University’s Northeast Indiana Area Health Education Center is providing the training and underwriting the cost.

The medical interpreter training covers the following topics:
- Basic interpreting skills

- Professional development
The training costs $50 for 40 hours.
