Interpreting in a medical environment also calls for exceptional interpersonal skills. A hospital, clinic or doctor’s office can be a high stress environment where sensitive topics are discussed. Our skilled medical interpreters are well experienced in handling these situations in a calm and professional manner.
Clear and accurate communication is critical in the case of medical interpreting. There are the obvious consequences of incorrect interpretation in health-related situations, which underscores the need for accuracy, medical knowledge and experience in this field.
“Look at the common thread in lawsuits: it’s that the patient feels the doctor didn’t adequately explain why [s]he did what [s]he did. Inadequate communication means more tests, but there’s also a higher risk of lawsuits.”
