Greetings!
We are proud to announce that our Online English-Spanish Medical Interpreter Program has started.
If you are bilingual in English and Spanish, you can now learn medical terminology in both languages. Our current students are really enjoying the online course. In addition, think of the added convenience of completing the program from your own home. You may log in at any time that is convenient for you. No travel required.
I enjoyed watching the videos which helped me alot with my interpreting.
I enjoyed calling in the assignments the least. Overall I loved the
course, I know I did alot of reading but that is the way I learn, that
is why it has taken me longer to finish the course. It is a great course
that helped me personally better my skills and to better serve the
patients and providers. Ana, Graduate, English-Spanish Program
