Core Medical Interpreter Certificate

Enter the growing field of Language Interpretation

The Core Medical Interpreter Training Program® (CMIT®) provides students with intensive training to prepare for the challenges within a growing and competitive health care marketplace. CMIT® is the only 100-hour medical interpreter training program in the Philadelphia Region in compliance with the newly recommended National Training Guidelines.

This program is offered to bilingual or multilingual individuals who are either currently working in health care or are interested in obtaining an entry-level credential in the field. The training covers all basic aspects of interpreting in healthcare, including the roles, modes, ethics, and current professional and regulatory guidelines. Our goal is to promote National Best Practice Standards in Professional Medical Interpreting for all limited-English proficient (LEP) patients requiring assistance.
