Familiarity with interpretation protocols, video or phone interpreting platforms, and confidentiality standards is crucial. Strong active listening, cultural competence, and the ability to remain impartial are standout soft skills in this role. These skills and qualities are vital to ensure accurate communication, patient safety, and trust between healthcare providers and patients with limited English proficiency.
