Panel Discussion

This virtual panel discussion and patient interview presentation will demonstrate how providing inclusive care for patients with limited English proficiency is key to improving their sense of Belonging, Access, Safety and Experience at Michigan Medicine. 

This panel is geared toward ALL Michigan Medicine staff, faculty, volunteers and students who have any type of interaction with patients and families who are considered Limited English Proficient LEP. Participants will watch short video interviews of patients who are LEP and/or use interpreters. These patients share their unique perspective and suggestions for MM staff. Michigan Medicine interpreters will follow these video clips with a guided discussion highlighting the importance of how linguistically and culturally competent care makes great strides in advancing health care equity in these often marginalized populations.
