Taking one or two medical sign language classes or having a staff member who took some classes doesn't substitute for hiring a qualified interpreter. If you have a Deaf client or patient it is likely that he/she is protected by the "Americans With Disabilities Act" of 1990 which is a law that (among other things) requires businesses and organizations (including hospitals and doctors' offices) that serve the public to provide appropriate accommodations (such as "qualified interpreters") for individuals who have a disability.
