They may not interpret for other members of the staff, such as providers, but they may perform their own job role in the language in which they were assessed.

Qualified Medical Interpreters undergo rigorous training in medical terminology, cultural competency, and ethical standards. They ensure accurate, impartial communication and comply with legal and professional standards.

Legally speaking, only qualified medical interpreters may facilitate communication between members of the staff and patients.
