The Spanish/English Medical Interpreter Certificate Course is designed

previous or current experience in the healthcare community is presumed
but is not a prerequisite for this intensive course.

the continual professional growth and assessment in this fast-growing
field. Successful completion will include a pre-test, mid-course
assessment and end-of course oral and written examinations measuring
participants' skills and strategies as an effective and efficient
interpreter. Upon successful attendance of the five sessions and the
course assignments, participants will earn a Certificate of Completion
