Interpret with Idalia

Are you a new medical interpreter—or are you preparing to become one?

Hi, I’m Idalia, a Spanish-English interpreter with 160 hours of advanced medical-interpreter training and experience in hospital and clinical settings.

Coming soon to Interpret with Idalia: 50 medical phrases every new interpreter should know—in English and Spanish.

We’ll practice questions about symptoms and pain, medical history, physical examinations, medications, informed consent, discharge instructions, and emergencies.

I’ll say each phrase in English, give you time to interpret it, and then provide the Spanish version so you can check your accuracy.

This will be a practical, work-ready lesson you can save and practice more than once.

Subscribe so you don’t miss it—and tell me in the comments: which medical setting is most challenging for you?
