Learn to be a Spanish Interpreter for Healthcare!
Introduction to Interpreting Spanish in Healthcare
A few times a year we offer an introduction to interpreting Spanish in healthcare course. This interpreter training course has 1 primary objective: to train clinical and support staff to interpret responsibly for the Spanish-only patients that receive services at your facility. We help you refine your medical terminology, improve conversion skills, and understand industry norms and standards. There are also 2 secondary objectives – to help students prepare for the nationally recognized Bridging the Gap interpreter training course and to help students prepare for the national certification as a Spanish interpreter in healthcare.
This is the perfect introductory course for hospitals and clinics to provide to their staff. It helps orient bilingual staff to medical interpreter standards, ethics, and skills while equipping them to interpret responsibly for the safety of the patient and to meet industry standards for providing health services in the patient’s native language.
