Senior Medical Interpreter
Empowering students. Expanding opportunities. Preparing future leaders.
The Senior Mediceal Program provides accredited 40-hour professional interpreter training to bilingual high school seniors, equipping them with essential skills to support communication in healthcare settings. Designed as a pilot for the 2024–2025 school year, the program empowers students to serve underserved communities, build transferable career skills, and explore pathways in healthcare and language services while helping bridge critical language gaps in their communities.
