Population
The population of interest was undergraduate medical students serving as
interpreters in the clinical setting. A medical student was defined as a
person enrolled in an educational program in pursuit of an MD degree (or
equivalent) at the time of the study. Studies may focus on either
pre-clerkship students, clerkship students, or both. A medical
interpreter was defined as a person who serves as a liaison between LLP
patients and healthcare professionals by providing oral translation
services. There were no selection criteria around the training of
medical students, meaning the presence of a training program in medical
interpretation is not a requirement for study inclusion.
