Bridging the Gap is the leading medical interpreter training program in the US today. This course prepares bilingual individuals to work as medical interpreters in hospital and clinic settings. The course employs participatory training techniques in an active learning environment. Course time includes devoting a large amount of time to the responsibility of the interpreter; as well as role-playing, group discussions and practicing medical interpreting.

A unique aspect of this course is its treatment of culture as an integral part of communication, and therefore, an important aspect of the interpreter's work. The interpreter's cultural competency is a crucial part of communication in a health care setting.

Don't forget that Bridging the Gap is one of the stepping stones to becoming a certified medical interpreter.
