Interpreting instead of shadowing?
So, I would love to shadow, but I haven’t find any opportunities. (I live in Indiana, if you know anyone who will let me shadow them, please let me know).
I work at a free clinic, I started as a Spanish interpreter volunteer and they offered me a job in the front desk (since is a free clinic everyone but front desk, management and little more are volunteers). I still interpret quite often and in different clinics (peds, acute, eye doc, etc.)
As an interpreter, I go in with the doctor and stay over the whole consultation. I am there for the medical assistant when they’re rooming and even interpret for the pharmacy.
Will this experience be equivalent to shadowing or is it a different thing? Should I keep looking for opportunities to shadow? I have asked but they either only accept med students to shadow or do not offer shadowing at all.
