When considering hiring interpreters, it is important to look for individuals who have a strong command of both the source and target languages. Ideally, they should have formal training in medical interpreting and certification from recognized bodies such as the [National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters]() or the [Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters](). Familiarity with medical terminology, privacy laws like [HIPAA](), and cultural competence are also crucial qualifications.
