Medical Interpreter (Spanish/English)

Yakima Valley College ETPL
Medical interpretation is a complex skill. Designed for the Spanish/English bilingual student, this program teaches the framework to understand the role of medical interpreter, the professional criteria to respond to a variety of interpreting situations, and the concrete skills to allow the interpreter to provide effective interpretation and cultural advocacy. The curriculum uses participatory training techniques, such as role play, to include the student in an active learning process. The Medical Interpreter Program has changed to a short-term certificate program. The certificate includes the following classes: AH 119 Medical Terminology - 5 credits, and AHMI 101 Spanish Medical Interpreter - 5 credits.
