Bridging the Gap (BTG) is a 40-hour course program offered in partnership with the South Central Kentucky Area Health Education Center (SC AHEC) and Community Action of Southern Kentucky. The course trains bilingual speakers to facilitate communication between service providers and people with limited English proficiency. BTG is typically accepted at many medical facilities nationwide as it meets minimal entry-level requirements. This training targets health educators, health care providers, lay interpreters interested in enhancing medical interpreting skills, and bilingual members of the community with a genuine interest in becoming medical interpreters.
