There is so much at stake with every medical interpreting encounter: language proficiency, medical terminology, cultural competency, advocacy, ethics, standards, integrity, intellectual, social and emotional intelligence, good judgement, professionalism,…among others. This all requires training. I believe medical interpreter training is very vital and every interpreter has to go through this kind of training. Don’t think you know it all. The time you stop learning is the time you stop advancing.

The consequences can be very dangerous
1.can train the Doctor with bad diagnosis and wrong traitement.
2.can expose the patient’s life , sometimes can cause to death.
