Practice-based training for intercultural mediators in the healthcare services

Chiarenza, Antonio (author)

The aim of this chapter is to present the role and structure of practice-based training as part of the overall programme for intercultural mediators of the Reggio Emilia Local Health Authority (AUSL RE). The pedagogical approach for this type of training is based on experiential learning geared towards pro-moting reflection and group discussion in order to generate knowledge and improve performance. Specifically, the trainee is guided to perform those tasks and roles which make up the professional practice of the intercultural mediator by firstly observing and then practicing mediated interactions in healthcare consultation. The aim is to provide practice learning opportu-nities for trainees through internship and placement activities by engaging them in concrete experiences and stimulating reflection on the problems encountered and the solutions adopted. This chapter presents the organisa-tional structure of practice-based training, the actors involved, the roles and tasks, the methods and tools to facilitate learning and to assess the outcomes.
