Spanish Medical Interpreter

SouthWest Skill Center (SWSC) program at EMCC

If you have an interest in the health and medical industry, and are proficient with both English & Spanish, you would be a good candidate for the Spanish Medical Interpreter program.  Bilingual individuals who would like to interpret or pursue a career in a healthcare setting can gain skills necessary to interpret in a manner consistent with national standards of practice for interpreters in health care.  

Interpreting is a value-added skill that enhances bilingual healthcare communication. According to the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care, an interpreter renders a message orally into another language while abiding by a professional code of ethics.

To promote successful program completion, students are strongly encouraged to take a medical terminology course prior to enrolling into the Spanish Medical Interpreter program. Graduates of the program will receive a Certificate of Complete (CCL).

Convenient for your busy schedule, this program may be completed in approximately 24 weeks.
