This is the second course in Module 2 of the Community Interpreter Core Training Program. This course introduces foundational medical terminology and the structure of medical words to help interpreters accurately recognize, understand, and interpret terminology used during medical consultations, lab tests, and vaccination discussions in healthcare settings.

We will cover:
