In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future, we welcome Dr. Rodrigues Armijo, a Latina physician-scientist and educator dedicated to advancing health equity through culturally responsive care, expanded language access, and healthcare workforce development.

During this episode, we discuss the importance of language access in healthcare and its impact on quality and safety of care. We explore the current state of language access in the U.S., the gaps that remain, and what high-quality interpretation services should look like beyond simply having an interpreter available. We also talk about the role of culturally competent care and how medical education and health systems can better prepare physicians to care for patients with limited English proficiency.
