On The Record

Training Interpreters for the Doctor's Office

NIH Clinical Center

As more people in America speak languages other than English, a program at Howard Community College prepares interpreters for the medical field. Instructor Lisette Albano and interpreter Hyon Lee describe how interpreters improve patient care while acting as a neutral party.

More information about the Health Care Interpreter Certificate program is available here.
