Medical Interpreter Training - Enroll Now
Seattle, WA

Welcome to Bridging the Gap

Bridging the Gap was originally developed as a training program for medical interpreters in the 1990s. Since then, the training has prepared thousands of committed interpreters.

Today, medical interpreting has become a recognized profession. Health care providers appreciate that they can do a better and safer job of caring for patients when there is good language support and culture brokering available.
