possible scenarios to avoid I think is just like Brian Pacheco said, been prepared is always best since our role is to give the patient the most accurate information possible.

hello everyone, the benefits of doing a pre-session with our selves first is to make sure we are prepared as in which kind of appointment we will be having, what kind of vocabulary will I be using, what part of the body is going to be talked about and also make sure I talk to the provider before entering the room and to have in mind what will I talk to the patient about before helping her or him. I think it is very important to do a pre-session with the provider that way you can introduced yourself, stablish yourself as the professional interpreter to clarify your role.

hi everyone! im Alejandra Gana originally from Chile, i have lived in the Us for more than 30 years, I live in Waltham mother of 2 grown children. I choose to be a medical interpreter because i would go with my mom to all her doctors appointments since she did not speak English and we would always need an interpreter. i would listen carefully everytime an interpreter would show up. i just liked been able to help people that spoke the same language as me. presently I work at my daughters daycare but i want a change of career ! helping spanish society motivates me..

a translator also is more carefull on using the appropiate words on a crucial circumstance

[Alejandra Gana]

hello everyone!! so to me a translator is more someone who is going to tell you word for word what something means, so they are directly taking what you might say in Spanish and translate to English, Lets say an interpreter dives deeper. they translate but it goes further they interpret a situation and explain it in detail so that the person truly understands whats going on.
