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?

How to Get A Medical Translator Certification

Getting a medical translator certification is a worth pursuing for those who are bilingual in English and another target language.

The good news is to become a medical translator you can also work as a medical interpreter and vice versa. If there is anything to be learned from the Coronavirus pandemic, it's that the modern world requires the majority of people to work a modern career that can be done remotely. Of course there are some outliers whose job necessitates workers be physically present but for the most part, going to an office for work is a thing of the past.
