Whether you run a healthcare facility or you’re a patient who needs help communicating in a foreign language, we’re here for you. We’re skilled in over 300 language pairs.
Interpreters play an important role in hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices. In addition to a wide range of interpretation services, our company offers professional medical interpreting. Contrary to what many people believe, a medical interpreter isn’t just a person who speaks more than one language and happens to work in the healthcare field.
Instead, the individual is a highly educated professional who is trained in ensuring patients and medical professionals understand each other. They must be certified by recognized organizations that credential medical interpreters. Our medical interpreting professionals are also fully trained in confidentiality, data security, and patient privacy protection.
Why It’s Important to Hire Expert Medical Interpreting Services
Miscommunication in healthcare settings can lead to serious consequences. In today’s globalized world, people often find themselves needing medical care in unfamiliar environments. Medical interpreting services ensure that doctors and nurses clearly understand the symptoms patients report and that patients fully understand the treatment plans and medications they are prescribed.
Interpretation ensures doctors and patients understand each other
A medical interpreter conveys information, simplifies complex concepts, and helps put patients at ease. They may also communicate with family members, ensuring a smoother experience for everyone involved in what can be a stressful situation. Medical interpreters are especially critical in emergency situations, where time is of the essence and clear communication can be life-saving.
We offer multiple types of medical interpretation services, including:
- Simultaneous interpreting – when the professional translates at the same pace as the speaker
- Consecutive interpreting – when the speaker pauses so the interpreter can convey the message
- Whisper interpreting – a form of simultaneous interpreting delivered quietly to the client
- Travel interpreting – when a medical interpreter accompanies a patient to appointments abroad
- Over-the-phone interpreting – when an interpreter joins remotely via telephone or conference call
