It is clear that not all bilingual candidates have the potential to become trained medical interpreters and a careful selection process of our training candidates is required to ensure that all of the trainees selected into the training are capable of its successful completion. The Language Bank expects that a candidate entering the training program in medical interpretation will have the potential to successfully complete the training achieving all the competencies, skills and proficiency required of a professional medical interpreter.
