The Core Medical Interpreter Training (CMIT) program provides students with intensive training to prepare for the challenges within a growing and competitive health care marketplace.
This program is offered to bilingual or multilingual individuals, who are either currently working in health care or are interested in obtaining an entry-level credential in the field. The training covers all basic aspects of interpreting in healthcare, including the roles, modes, ethics, and current professional and regulatory guidelines.
Our 100-hour program covers strategies for effective communication between different cultures in the health care setting. The training includes twelve hours of medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology; eight hours on the Codes of Ethics, and intensive role-playing to gain new skills and significantly improve patient safety. Our goal is to promote National Best Practice Standards in Professional Medical Interpreting for all limited-English proficient (LEP) patients requiring assistance.

The Core Medical Interpreter Training Program empowers Interpreters to:

Coronavirus Update
Our CMIT program is ready to face the challenges that the current COVID-19 outbreak is imposing on training activities. Our program is hybrid (classroom and online instruction), and we have augmented the availability of lessons online to minimize the need for physical classroom activities.
As of now, the CMIT event in July is scheduled with modifications in the teaching agenda to make it 100% online. However, we will monitor and abide to the re-opening, contact tracing, and social distancing guidelines to resume physical classroom activities when possible.
