Medical interpreting is always going to be a job for humans. So if you are a bilingual adult, and especially if you are already employed as a language interpreter, you might have questions. "Can't a robot do medical interpreting?" In this day and age, it seems like Artificial Intelligence (A.I) is taking over jobs and replacing the humans that actually need them to survive. And yet, despite its growing prominence, A.I still cannot replace human language interpreters. Here's why...

A remote language interpreter is someone who helps to bridge the gap between someone who can, and someone who cannot speak English. These language professionals often find work in medical and healthcare settings; but can work in other settings, too. Such as legal offices, government buildings, schools, and international businesses. Because the reality is: as more services move online, the demand for qualified interpreters grows.

Remote interpreter training is a great way for bilingual adults to make a career change. Especially if you want a flexible schedule with the opportunity to work anywhere with internet connection. Naturally, you don't want to start from the bottom. So you start looking for something, anything, that builds upon what you already know. And you've already got decades of practice in English, and another language. So, you discover professional language interpreting- which sounds exactly like what you've been looking for! But you probably have questions like "do I need a license for this?" or "why can't I just take the exam, and skip remote interpreter training all together?"
