When healthcare providers and patients do not speak the same language, medical interpreters are called in to help. In this book, Claudia Angelelli explores the role of medical interpreters, drawing on data from over 300 medical encounters and interviewing the interpreters themselves about the people for whom they interpret, their challenges, and how they characterize their role. Bringing together literature from social theory, social psychology, and linguistic anthropology, this book will appeal to anyone wanting to discover the intricacies of medical interpreting; particularly researchers, communication specialists, policy makers, and practitioners.

This review is from: Medical Interpreting and Cross-cultural Communication (Hardcover)
The study conducted by the author reveals some issues and practices that need to be considered by everyone in the field of healthcare interpreting. Especially given the recent Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics by the NCIHC. I am curious to hear the thoughts of other professionals in the field about the practices of the interpreters at California Hope and I'm left wondering if this level of visibility exists to such a high degree in other communities.
