About this resource. It is designed for learning, building rapport and quick reference. It is not interpreter training, a language-proficiency assessment, a certification or continuing-education (CE) credit. Using it does not make you a qualified or certified medical interpreter, and it does not by itself qualify you as a "qualified interpreter" or "qualified bilingual/multilingual staff" under federal language-access rules (45 CFR 92.4). For informed consent, diagnosis, medication instructions, discharge teaching and any other important conversation, use a qualified medical interpreter and follow your organization's language-access policy. Phrases are general examples; follow your own clinical protocols.
Sobre este material. Está diseñado para aprender, crear confianza con el paciente y consultar rápidamente. No es una capacitación de intérpretes, una evaluación de dominio del idioma, una certificación ni un crédito de educación continua (CE). Usarlo no lo convierte en intérprete médico calificado ni certificado y, por sí solo, no lo acredita como "intérprete calificado" ni como "personal bilingüe o multilingüe calificado" según las normas federales de acceso lingüístico (45 CFR 92.4). Para el consentimiento informado, diagnósticos, instrucciones sobre medicamentos, educación al alta y cualquier otra conversación importante, use un intérprete médico calificado y siga la política de acceso lingüístico de su organización. Las frases son ejemplos generales; siga sus propios protocolos clínicos.
