Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Interprofessional Collaboration
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Effective collaboration with medical interpreters is crucial for physicians.
  • A gap exists in medical students' knowledge and confidence regarding interpreter use.
  • Co-designing educational interventions with stakeholders can enhance learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To co-design and co-teach an educational session for medical students on working with interpreters.
  • To improve medical students' knowledge and confidence in utilizing medical interpreter services.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, interprofessional curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • A 120-minute multimodal educational intervention was developed collaboratively.
  • The session included didactic presentations, role-playing, and a panel discussion with interpreters.
  • Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed knowledge and confidence using McNemar's test.

Main Results:

  • 161 pre-clinical medical students participated.
  • Post-intervention, students demonstrated improved identification of best practices for interpreter use (71.4% vs 57.7%, p=0.04).
  • Confidence in working with interpreters significantly increased post-intervention (95.2% vs 65.8%, p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • An innovative, interprofessional co-designed curriculum successfully enhanced medical students' knowledge.
  • The educational intervention significantly improved students' confidence in working with medical interpreters.
  • This approach offers a model for effective training in culturally competent healthcare communication.
