Healthcare Interpreting With The Heart In Mind

Healthcare interpreting is a fantastic career for bilingual adults. Whether you enter it part time, as a side-hustle, or as a full-time career there are many different paths and opportunities for growth. Many take our standard medical interpreter training course and make successful careers without any additional instruction. Others elect to continue their education with our advanced medical interpreting course to prepare for their medical interpreters licensing examination. It cannot be stressed enough that advanced interpreter training consists of additional training that is not required to become a medical interpreter. You don't have to continue your training, or pursue a medical interpreters' license to be successful. The students who do continue their training, do so because they aspire to work for hospitals, or they want to work for an agency, or they want to specialize their training. Just like doctors choose a specialty, medical interpreters can choose a specialization as well. A medical interpreting specialization could include anything from orthopedics, to radiology, to cardiology or anything in between.

Interpreting In Orthopedics & The Fundamentals Of Vocabulary

Interpreting is not something that should be taken lightly.

When customers pay someone to handle things for them, it's because the other person is an expert in that field. Just because bilingual adults are fluent in 2 languages, doesn't make them an expert interpreter. Sure, knowing both languages is a definite start, but that doesn't make you a medical interpreter on its' own. Imagine you are a 19 year old college student in your first year of law school, and you have to appear before a court to plead a case. The rational person would go ahead and hire a lawyer to plead the case before a judge. Primarily because the lawyer knows more than you do, they have studied the law and dedicated their life towards understanding it.

The Business Interpreter With A Career In Marketing
