Center for Health Impact LogoThe Fundamentals of Medical Interpreter Training (FMIT) is a course in which fluently bilingual individuals develop the skills necessary to facilitate effective and reliable interpretation in clinical setting and human service settings. This three-month course provides students with principles, methods, and competencies (both knowledge and skills-based) essential in the delivery of effective, reliable, and comprehensive interpreting. This course develops a theoretical and practical understanding of the multiple roles of the interpreter as well as the related ethical, cultural, and linguistic challenges in this evolving field. The course explores contemporary issues in the field of medical interpretation including immigration trends, legal mandates, and certification.Mass AHEC Network Logo
