Freelance Healthcare Interpreter in Chicago - United States, working with Spanish - English - Portuguese translation and interpretation

Samantha not only speaks fluent Spanish and advanced Brazilian Portuguese, but also possesses an excellent grasp of medical terminology. Having studied French, Mandarin and Quechua (an indigenous language spoken in the Andes) and traveled extensively throughout Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, she is no stranger to medical anthropology and ethnomedicine (which include curanderos, yerberos and parteras). During the course of Samantha's experience as a Healthcare Interpreter, she has learned that simply communicating oral language is not enough; it is imperative for healthcare professionals to understand and respect cultural nuances in order to be able to provide superior care to LEP patients. She has discovered that this makes all the difference in treating patients with dignity and autonomy.
