Course Description

DE LA MORA Interpreter Training is now offering a course to help you with your medical assignments! This course is for experienced medical interpreters who want to bring their skills to the next level by being fully prepared for their assignments no matter what the subject matter may be. During class, the students will prepare a glossary template and then fill in that glossary by doing in-context reading of related material in both languages; they will learn the importance of conducting research for assignments in context. We will discuss strategies for preparing for assignments on short notice and with limited information, and they will get hands-on practice researching different topics and extracting and then memorizing terminology. The course will consist of four units, each of which will focus on preparing for a specific type of assignment.

This LIVE ONLINE course has a total of 6 contact hours and runs on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8pm - 9:30pm ET.

Students will be able to interact with their teacher and classmates in an online environment via a user-friendly software. All classes will be recorded and made available to the students within 24 hours as a reviewing resource for catching up or self-study sessions. If you have never taken an online class before, don’t worry! We host a separate orientation to make sure everyone is comfortable with accessing the course and to answer any questions.
