Career Center: Interpreter

Description:

Medical interpreters listen to what the doctor says and translates that message into the patient’s language. In this way, the doctor can ask questions about how the patient feels and the patient can describe what’s wrong. An understanding of both cultures is very important,because a certain expression my mean one thing in one culture and something different in the other. These clues need to be conveyed sensitively.

    I am pursuing a degree in Foreign Languages and after I get my degree in Languages I would like to pursuit a master degree in Medical Interpretation/Translation. I would love to join the Interpreters Group but when I click on the "join the interpreters Group" the page cannot be found.
