Medical Interpreting: Becoming a Cultural Mediator
Medical interpreting is not only about translating languages. It also involves translating whole cultures!
Each country has its own traditions and cultural codes, which may or may not be shared by another country where the same language is spoken.
As a medical interpreter, you will not only be requested to know your terms of art, but you will also need to act as a bridge between two cultures, a cultural mediator who is able to understand both verbal and non-verbal language!
In this course, we will address the differences between the different cultures, religions, gestures around the world, and so much more, so you can become a professional that doctors and patients rely on without hesitation.
