A medical interpreter is someone who helps non-English speakers communicate with doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. Medical interpreters help assure the sick that they are safe and will be cared for appropriately, as they are often fearful due to the language barrier. Medical interpreters can break language barriers in the medical industry by using their linguistic skills to provide medical interpreting services to patients and medical providers. It is undeniable that this profession comes with a lot of responsibilities. However, it can also be an excellent career choice. Medical interpreters work for many types of medical facilities like physician offices, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and mental health clinics. Some are employed by interpretation agencies, while others operate their own interpretation businesses. Medical translators are responsible for interpreting and translating an assortment of medical information.
