Spanish Medical Interpreting Training and Where It Is Needed

Spanish medical interpreting is one of the most popular professions, and one that is constantly in demand for qualified individuals in the United States. With approximately 11.6 million bilingual Spanish & English speakers living in the United States, studying to become a medical interpreter a rewarding career with ample opportunity. Working with Limited English Proficient (LEP) communities, Spanish-English medical interpreters allow those who speak little to no English to receive a higher standard of medical care, that they may not otherwise receive. Unfortunately, those who have been getting by without a medical translator certification have most likely been relying on bilingual relatives-often children- to interpret doctor appointments. And although being bilingual is a requirement for medical interpreting, there is so much more to the profession that you can only learn in medical interpreting classes. So what does Spanish medical interpreting training involve and where is it needed?

Diversity and Inclusion Training…What Is It, and How Can It Help You?

From diversity and inclusion training to advanced medical interpreter training we have rolled out a few new course offerings recently. Although they both provide the tools to become a successful interpreter, both of these courses are slightly different than our standard curriculum. Advanced medical interpreting is a 30 hr supplemental medical interpreting course, meaning that students must enroll in our standard medical interpreting program (or an equivalent course) as a prerequisite requirement✅. As the name implies, advanced medical interpreting is an accelerated course that prepares students to pass NBCMI (National Board of Certification for Medical interpreters) or national medical interpreting exam for an official certification. Diversity and inclusion training on the other hand, is exactly what you think it is...or is it?
