Our online consecutive Medical Interpreter course is a self-paced, interactive program that offers the flexibility to access the educational material at your own time. The instructor is available on-demand (upon previous mutual agreement) in addition to the regular meeting times to do live practices and oral tests.
Our students are able to learn the proper pronunciation of words and medical terminology by listening to prerecorded modules that are specific to the different systems of the human body. Students are asked to record assignments and submit them via the audio link; the instructor provides continuous feedback on his/her fluency, pronunciation, and accuracy.
A minimum of one (1) coaching session is conducted to practice the Roles of the interpreter, Code of Ethics, and Standards of practice, and a medical interpreter certificate is issued to each student who passes the oral exam.
A passing grade is 70% or higher in the written exam and 5 or fewer major deductions on the oral test.
Ideal candidates for this course should have basic knowledge in the health care field, basic computer skills, and access to a computer (and internet) and a telephone.
Duration is 60 content hours. Our online medical interpreter Course follows the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) guidelines and the recommendations of the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC).

The course was very comprehensive and conducive to both, having the knowledge necessary to being a good medical interpreter and understand the guidelines are roles of the interpreter. I would have liked to know in advance the quantity of time it took to complete the assignments. The instructor was very knowledgeable, kind, timely and encouraging while giving instructions. I have already recommended this course to at least 40 people. I believe it is a course that is thorough and truly prepares the interpreter for their position. Idil Hernandez is an excellent instructor!" - Carey F
"I'm very satisfied, I learned and discover many things from this course that are going to help me with my interpreter roll. Techniques that I didn't know I should use during interpretation. It's very important that every person that is planning to become a Medical Interpreter take this training" - Mayra A
"Thank you for all your unconditional support Idil :)" Susan S.

What do our students say about their experience?
" Detrás de busqueda por la página web del IMIA, encontré a varios programas que ofrecían cursos online para interpretes médicos. Envié varios correos a unos cuantos programas y Medtalk Training era el único que respondió en menos de 48 horas. Desde el momento que empezé la correspondencia con mi profesora, Sra. Idil Ayala, ha sido todo muy fácil... ¡pero no por parte mia!
Empezé el curso con Medtalk Training en España, hice la mayoría de los estudios y tareas en Tailandia, y terminé el curso en los Estados Unidos. No importe donde estaba, me llegaban las respuestas a mis muchas preguntas en 12- 48 horas, sin excepción. He sentido muy apoyada en la enteridad del curso... como estudiante y, cliente. Además, no tuve ningun problema para conectarme al curso... ni para acceder a las lecciones... todo muy fácil y transparente." - Rachel W
