The Connecticut AHEC Medical Interpreter Certificate is 48-hours of highly interactive practice sessions and role-plays. Each training program accommodates up to 15 participants. The core components of the training include:

• Health care in cultural perspective
• Structure and principles of U.S. health care
• Biomedical practitioners, methods of diagnosis and medical terminology
• The human body

The Connecticut AHEC Medical Interpreter Certificate in health and community settings is taught by instructors who represent Latin American and Middle Eastern countries. Their qualifications include advanced degrees, experience as trained medical interpreters, and a personal dedication to increase access to health care. Our instructors have been trained and certified as medical interpreters and as instructors by the Northern Virginia Area Health Education Center.

This curriculum establishes the basic foundation for all community interpreters and provides specialized training in health care interpretation. In addition to expertise in the code of ethics and the modes and techniques of community interpreting, a health care interpreter must understand health care as a cultural system and master the most common medical concepts, procedures and terminology.
