Do You Need a Korean Medical Interpreter or Translator?

Navigating the healthcare system in Korea can be challenging without language assistance. But do you really need a Korean medical interpreter? This comprehensive guide discusses the necessity of interpreters in medical settings, offering insights into when and where to find professional language support.

Understanding the Role of a Korean Medical Interpreter

What sets a professional interpreter apart from a bilingual individual? It’s not just about speaking two languages. Professional interpreters undergo specialized training and develop skills in various types of interpretation, including written, oral, and simultaneous. They are often certified in specific fields like legal, technical, and medical interpreting. Their role is crucial in ensuring clear and accurate communication between all parties.

Key Benefits of Hiring a Korean Medical Interpreter

• Effective Communication of Patient Goals and Treatment Plans
• Clear Understanding of Doctor’s Diagnoses and Recommendations
• Facilitating Informed Questions and Answers
• Bridging the Gap Between Doctors and Patients
• Interpreting Medical Procedures, Costs, Risks, and Requirements

When You Might Not Need an Interpreter

• Clinics with in-house interpretation staff

Caution about these sources when seeking a Translator/Interpreter:

• Random online forums
• Craigslist
• Anonymous Group Chats
• Sponsored Influencers

While building My Seoul Secret over the past 9 years, we followed up with translators that were often recommended on these sites by interviewing them in person, only to learn that nine out of ten times, they were really illegal surgery brokers under the guise of a freelance personal assistants/translators, and also unqualified to do medical interpretation and put patients at risk with biased information and blurring their roles and responsibilities .
