Interpreters in the healthcare setting must also have a superior command of their working languages and an extensive knowledge of medical terminology relating to anatomy, physiology, and pathology as well as terminology used in folk medicine. The medical interpreter must also be well versed in cultural factors relating to health because there are so many cultural attitudes and beliefs associated with health and medicine.

“I wanted to take a moment to thank and commend you for last weekend’s excellent and enjoyable presentation/training during the Advanced Interpreting Skill Building Workshop. I sure got my money’s worth! With the current economy, I hesitated spending the money and the time this seminar required. But I am rather pleased with my decision. This weekend provided me (and my peers) with essential information, tremendous resources and--best of all--a plan of action to prepare for the Federal Court Interpreter Certification test. The latter once seemed like a daunting task, but now has become an attainable goal. I’d like to thank you for the work you are doing. It is a noble job indeed, providing interpreters with the necessary tools to do our job, as we must.”
