Sioux Center Health

Medical Interpreter

June - July 2019 • Sioux Center, IA

What I liked

I loved getting the opportunity to use my bilingual skills in the medical field. Being able to help people by using the skills that God gave me was amazing. It was a good experience, going into different areas to interpret, areas such as: emergency visits, ultra sound visits, etc. I feel like doing this internship was not only about being an interpreter, but to also be a nurse sometimes, because we get to see the stuff that nurses and doctors get to see.

What I wish was different

maybe a little bit longer? it was a good time to learn many many things about the medical field.

Advice

Be prepared mentally because you do not know the things you are going to go through or to hear. There can be some stuff that can be hard to listen and it can make you lose focus from doing your job as an interpreter.
