Guidelines for Use of Medical Interpreter Services

The Organization of Student Representatives has developed a resource for medical students who need additional guidance in the use of a medical interpreter during interactions with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients. Students can use the medical interpreter card during encounters with LEP patients as a basic reference for interpreter options and their appropriate use.

The guidelines are available in PDF and Word format.

Additional resources regarding LEP patients and medical interpreters:

• Multicultural Health Best Practices - DiversityRx
• National Council on Interpreting in Health Care
