I am forever grateful, Zoraida." Zoraida currently works as a medical interpreter for a Penn State Community Clinic in Pennsylvania.
Our newest CHI! Aldo Arellano is now CHI-Spanish!
Aldo works as a Worker's Comp Medical Interpreter. "I enjoyed the entire program. I was able to practice more consecutive interpreting in English and Spanish. I learned medical terms and procedures, I was able to practice more Spanish. It was helpful that the staff were ready to answer any of my questions."

Also from our other graduates
I enjoyed watching the videos which helped me a lot with my interpreting.
I enjoyed calling in the assignments the least. Overall I loved the course, I know I did a lot of reading but that is the way I learn, that is why it has taken me longer to finish the course.
It is a great course that helped me personally better my skills and to better serve the patients and providers. Ana, Graduate, English-Spanish Program
"Being able to take a good quality course from home is fantastic". - Vally from Alabama, first graduate of the English-Spanish Medical Terminology Course.
