Medical Interpretation Certification Program - Language Neutral New

Prepare for a career in medical interpretation by developing skills that are an essential part of the job. Medical interpreting requires knowledge of interpreting techniques and modes of interpretation, theoretical concepts, ethical boundaries, healthcare systems, healthcare interpreter standards, and cultural awareness. Medical interpreters must manage the flow of the sessions, be familiar with ethical principles and cultural nuances, devise strategies to handle the challenges presented, and maintain the clinical importance of the medical encounter. Students who complete this program will satisfy the prerequisite and prepare them for the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters.
