Spanish is the most spoken non-English language in the U.S., sparking the need for professional interpreters. If you are bilingual in both English and Spanish, you can use your fluency to help others communicate. As a professional interpreter, you can assist those in vulnerable situations, such as refugees and immigrants, acting as their communication bridge.
This medical interpreter training program prepares you to work in hospitals, medical offices, and in any healthcare environment where a Spanish interpreter is needed. While this program is not tied to a specific medical translator certification, it prepares you to sit for many of the medical interpreting examinations available in the country.
Through this comprehensive medical interpreter course, you will acquire the three interpreting skills needed for success—simultaneous, consecutive, and sight translation. You will also learn the proper transfer of medical terminology into Spanish, divided into the different areas in a hospital and medical specialties. Intensive online interpreting laboratory practices are included in this program.
This medical translation certification bundle will prepare you for a rewarding career as a professional English-Spanish interpreter. Not only will you master interpretation, you will also learn to interpret in a medical setting and be prepared to sit for your state's medical interpreter certification exam.
Upon completion, you will receive a certificate of completion. This course is ideal for individuals seeking to build skills, gain experience, and prepare for further credentialing, such as a Spanish medical translator certification or other recognized certifications in Spanish medical interpreting.
