Online Medical Interpreter Assessment and Training

Provider-managed, Patient-centered, Interpreter-facilitated Communication

From beginner interpreters to physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, we have the interpreter training program for you.

For beginner interpreters, we provide a strong foundation in medical concepts in both languages.

For healthcare professionals, we prepare you to interpret while maintaining your role boundaries and applying your high degree of medical knowledge to be the best interpreter that you can be.

In addition, healthcare professionals would be better prepared to work with interpreters of other languages in their role as a medical provider.
