Healthcare Interpreting vs Translating & Your Future Career

Healthcare interpreting is a very different career than working as a medical translator. And while "interpreter" and "translator" are often used interchangeably, they are very different careers. At the core, a medical interpreter is someone who converts spoken conversation from one language to another; whereas a medical translator works with written texts. Both of these language professionals provide essential services for people who don't speak the common language- but they require different skill sets. In the United States, most clients will be working with people who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) but the work is required in every country that welcomes foreigners.

Professional ESL For Bilingual & Working Language Interpreters

Professional ESL (English as a Second Language) is critical to success for working interpreters, and bilingual adults who aspire to become language interpreters one day. For some, ESL training for working bilingual adults might seem pointless. Maybe you have taken a course or two in the past and believe you are an expert. Or maybe you are already providing interpreting services and you don't think it's necessary to enroll in an online ESL course. The reality is that the more training you have received, the more experience you have. And with any profession, the more experience you have increases your earning potential. If you want to work a professional interpreter but you don't have a record of formal English training, it will be harder for you to find work. If you want people to pay you for your experience, you need to have proof of your experience. Luckily for you, we have multiple online ESL courses that you can be placed into.
