Medical Interpreting Since 1983

Medical Interpreting in 150+ Languages & Dialects

Accurate medical interpreting is essential to the health care field. After all, communication errors due to language barriers between doctors and their patients or medical-related businesses and their clients can be life-threatening.

Accredited Language Services has become the trusted source for medical interpreting because we recognize the need for trained, professional interpreters with medical expertise.

With a network of more than 5,000 linguists around the world, Accredited Language can meet your medical interpreting needs.

Interpreters with Medical Knowledge and Vocabulary

Communication between health care workers and their patients is necessary for proper treatment. How can doctors find out what allergies their patients have if they can’t speak to each other? How can patients explain their ailments to a doctor who doesn’t speak the same language?

Medical interpreting demands fluency, knowledge of specialized vocabulary, and compassion. Working with patients requires patience and skill. It’s more than language that must be translated – medical interpreting can involve bridging cultural gaps as well.

In addition, interpreters fluent in specialized medical vocabulary are essential for communication between medical professionals. At conferences, seminars, and symposia, expert medical interpreting allows health professionals to share ideas and research.

Interpreting Services for Medical Proceedings of Any Size

Accredited Language offers medical interpreting services for one or two people in an examination room as well as international conferences with thousands of people.

Consecutive interpreting is used primarily for examinations, interviews, meetings, and one-on-one consultations. The conversation temporarily stops while a linguist interprets for each speaker.

Simultaneous interpreting often is used during large conferences, seminars and conventions. During this form of interpreting, the linguist interprets in real time while a speech is in progress.

Telephonic interpreting is best only when you have an urgent deadline or need an interpreter in remote locations.
