Interpreters play an important role in hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices. In addition to a wide range of interpretation services, our company offers 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 have to go through one of the organizations that certify medical interpreters. Our medical interpreting professionals are also fully trained in confidentiality, security, and data protection.
Why It’s Important Hire Expert Medical Interpreting Services
Miscommunication in healthcare settings can lead to disastrous outcomes. In today’s globalized world, people often find themselves needing medical care in international locales. Healthcare interpreting ensures that doctors and nurses understand the symptoms patients report and that patients understand the treatment and medication they’re being given.
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 relatives, ensuring an easier time for all concerned in what may be a stressful situation. Medical interpreters are especially helpful in emergency situations where time is of the essence and clear communication could be the difference between life and death.
We offer various types of interpretation services including:
- Simultaneous interpreting – when the professional translates at the same pace as the speaker is presenting
- Consecutive interpreting – when the speaker talks for a few minutes and takes a break so the interpreter can translate the message
- Whisper interpreting – a form of simultaneous interpreting in which the interpreter whispers the translation to the client instead of speaking out loud.
- Travel interpreting – If you need to travel abroad, a medical interpreter can travel with you to attend medical appointments.
- Over-the-phone interpreting – If you don’t need to have the interpreter physically present, they can join in on a conference call.
