Intervention
Documents had to focus on interventions to address volunteer-based or
paid interpretation services by medical students. Publications
describing interpretation performed by medical students in various
clinical settings, including primary care settings, tertiary care
settings, urgent-care settings, or telemedicine appointments were
included. Exclusion criteria included articles that focused on either
(a) medical imaging interpretation; and/or (b) translation, adaptation,
or validation of scales, software, and other non-linguistic medical
interpretation tools.
Following a pilot test, titles and abstracts were screened by two
independent reviewers (S.C and J.Y. L) for assessment against the
inclusion and exclusion criteria for the review.
