Hello! My name is Alisha Patel, and I am an Emory Alum in my first year at MCG! I am a clinic coordinator of MCG Asian Clinic, a student-run clinic that offers primary care services to uninsured and low-income patients of the Asian community in Augusta. As we frequently serve patients with limited English proficiency, we are recruiting volunteer interpreters to remotely assist with our appointments. We are primarily recruiting Vietnamese, Chinese, Hindi, and Korean interpreters, but you are still more than welcome to reach out if you speak an Asian language not listed above!
As a volunteer, you will be interpreting remotely in real-time during patient appointments. Clinic is usually held on the last Tuesday of each month, from 5-8 pm (the number of appointments you have to interpret for will vary for each month). If you are interested in working with the underserved population, this is a wonderful opportunity to play a significant role in patient care, while working closely with medical students and the attending physician!
If you are interested or have any questions, please email me at alipatel@augusta.edu !
