Spanish Interpreter

May - July 2018 • Providence, RI

What I liked

What I loved the most about my internship was the fact that I was told and congratulated when I did my job right!

What I wish was different

Some of the doctors take for granted the presence of Internpreters without even realizing how hard we work to keep them communicated with the patients. I hope they get to appreciate our FREE/ out of heart help one day.

Advice

To be patient and hope for the best. It is a clinic and patients have certain concerns and you have to keep calm to be able to help at your best.
