Training for Professional Medical Interpreters

US healthcare facilities stress the importance of having a standard practice for medical interpreters nationwide. To meet this need, MiTio provides training for professional Medical Interpreters to access the CCHI and NBCMI certification exams. This training is vital because every time a patient has to sign a form for authorizing sharing of medical records, the provider must be able to prove that the patient has understood the language in which the information was provided.

According to program standards, it is unrealistic to expect bilingual colleagues in a healthcare facility to be able to interpret accurately and completely the information provided during an interaction if they are not properly trained to acquire this competence. Prospective students can learn the paramount know-how with MiTio by enrolling in the Online Medical Terminology Course for Medical Interpreters or the Intermediate Medical Interpreter Certificate Course Online for CCHI Certification. To learn more about the code of conduct for medical interpreters in the US, check the online MiTio Medical Interpreter Certificate Course.
