Medical Interpreter
 

Medical interpretation is a complex skill. Designed for the Spanish/English bilingual student, the YVCC Medical Interpreter Program teaches the framework to understand the role of medical interpreter, the professional criteria to respond to a variety of interpreting situations, and the concrete skills to allow the interpreter to provide effect interpretation and cultural advocacy. The curriculum uses participatory training techniques, such as role play, to include the student in an active learning process.
