Verbal interpretation services falls into two main categories - consecutive and simultaneous/conference.
- Consecutive Interpreting most common in medical interpreting. Involves the interpreter interpreting what the speaker says after a short delay. Even though it is more time consuming, this mode of interpreting is generally more accurate and causes the least confusion.
- Simultaneous Interpretation is one of the most demanding and highly skilled professions. It requires the interpreter to speak contemporaneously with the speaker whose statements are being heard. Consequently, very few individuals reach the level of professional conference interpreter. Simultaneous interpretation is utilized in meetings, conferences, training seminars, and medical emergencies where the prime concern is "effective and immediate" communication between individuals who don’t speak the same language or come from the same culture. PALS for Health is one of the few language providers with the ability to provide skilled and experienced simultaneous interpretation. Our simultaneous interpreters have extensive experience and professional certification(s).
