About this course
This course provides a comprehensive training program to prepare students to serve as interpreters in the day-to-day encounter of critical point-of-care delivery?from ambulatory and emergency bedside attendance to ICU staff support, hospice care, and patient-family mediation. Students receive a thorough grounding in medical terminology, the healthcare interpreter?s code of ethics, and the rights and responsibilities pertaining to patient-provider relations. As part of the course work, students will receive training in simulated interpreting exams modelled after the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI) and the National Board Certificate in Medical Interpreting and CMI and build a personal portfolio comprising a glossary of medical terms, a medical interpreter journal, and audio work samples.
