Medical Language Interpreter Career & Managing Expectations

A medical language interpreter is a bilingual adult who translates conversation between a medical professional (like an EMT, a doctor, a surgeon etc) and a patient who speaks a different language. Medical interpreters have an important job, because they need to be fluent in 2 languages and know medical terminology and procedures so that they can relay the information to the patient. If a medical interpreter makes a mistake, whether that means mishearing a doctor or a misinterpretation; it could have serious consequences for the patient. This is why it isn't enough for medical interpreters to be bilingual- you have to have a firm understanding of medical terminology and procedures, in addition to anatomy and physiology.

Becoming A Medical Interpreter- A Career Overview

Becoming a medical interpreter is a big decision that can pay off in the long run if you invest in yourself early. A medical interpreter is someone who is trained to translate all communication (written & spoken) between a doctor and their patient. In the United States, a medical interpreter is required when an English speaking doctor has a patient who only speaks Spanish - and vice versa. There are a multitude of other scenarios where their work is necessary, but at the core medical interpreters bridge the communication gap between doctors and patients and ensures that everyone receives the same quality of medical attention, regardless of where you are in the world and what language you speak. But what does it take to become a medical interpreter? What kinds of jobs can you get with with medical interpreter certificate? How will becoming a medical interpreter improve your life? Here's a career overview:

English To Russian Interpreter Training For Bilingual Adults

English to Russian interpreter training is an investment for any bilingual adult. To be able to work for yourself and do so remotely, either full-time or as a part-time "side hustle" to supplement income during an economic downturn; are ideals that working adults are actively searching for in regards to employment opportunities, in a post-quarantine world. In March 2020, governments around the world issued stay-at-home Covid-19 lockdowns that forced all non-essential employees to work from home until they were lifted 5 months later. And although everyone had vastly different experiences -both positive and negative- during lockdown, many of us - especially millennials and Gen-Z - have gotten used to working from home and don't want to go back to an office. For bilingual adults fluent in the Russian and English languages, who are looking for a career change but don't know where to start, Russian interpreter training is a great place to start.

Chinese Medical Interpreter Training for Bilingual Adults

Chinese medical interpreter training is a valuable skill for bilingual adults, especially those who are fluent in English as well as Cantonese or Mandarin. Although there are hundreds of different dialects within Mandarin, Gu, Gan, Xiang, Min, Hakka, Yum, Jun, Huizhou and Pinghua - it is far and away more beneficial to seek certification in these two "standard Chinese" dialects. For those considering a career change to a field like medical interpreting who are fluent in more than one Chinese dialect, we are commonly asked "which dialect is in more demand? Which is the most commonly spoken Chinese dialect to provide interpreting services for?" Unfortunately, this is an impossible question to answer because there isn't a perfect one-size-fits-all answer. In fact, the only truthful answer we can provide is "The most beneficial Chinese dialect to interpret for is the one most commonly spoken in your general area." So what does Chinese medical interpreter training consist of? What can you expect from your new career?
