유망한 직업: 의료통역사 (엘에이동시통역대학원장 박준희 박사)

“현재 미국전국에 의료통역사공인협회의 공인을 받은 43명의 의료통역사가 있고 그 중 27명이 캘리포니아에 있으며 24명이 저희 학교에서 훈련 받은 통역사입니다”라고 엘에이동시통역대학원장 박준희 박사가 말한다. “법정통역사는 현재 캘리포니아에 61명이고, 그 중 24명이 엘에이동시통역대학원에서 공부했죠. 합격자는 3명 더 있는 데 한국과 캐나다에서 활동 중입니다. 테네시, 버지니아, 뉴욕에서 온라인 강의를 듣고 합격한 사람도 있습니다. 저희 학교가 생긴 후 시험에 합격한 법정통역사는 한두명 빼고는 다 우리학교 출신입니다. 중국어 통역사도 우리 학생들이 많습니다.”

박준희 원장은 이렇게 타의 추종을 불허하는 성공적인 결과는 자격증 시험의 성격을 정확히 이해하고 학생들의 수준에 맞추어 강훈련하는 것이라고 한다. 특히 법정통역은 동시통역이 당락을 결정하는 데 합격수준에 이르도록 효과적으로 훈련하는 것이 좋은 결과를 낳았다고 하였다.

“현재 통역사의 숫자는 수요에 반도 못미치는 매우 부족한 숫자입니다.” 특히 2015년 가주정부의 “언어 접근 계획 (Language Access Plan)”은 형사 뿐 아니라 민사의 모든 사건에서 법정통역사를 무료로 제공하도록 권장하였고 2년 째 집행되고 있지만, 현재 통역사가 부족하여 접근금지명령, 아동 양육권, 강제퇴거, 보호자 및 관리자 결정과 노인 학대등 우선 순위에만 통역사가 배정되고 있다.

의료통역의 경우도 마찬가지이다. 의료시설을 방문하는 모든 영어 미숙자에게 통역사가 제공되어야 하지만, 공인의료통역사는 턱없이 부족하다. “의료통역시험은 구두시험에 한영 즉독즉해가 없고 동시통역이 없어 합격하기가 훨씬 쉽습니다.” 준비기간도 법정통역은 1년 과정, 의료통역은 40시간이라고 한다.

“이중언어라면 반드시 통역사 자격증에 도전해 볼 것을 권장드립니다” 라고 박준희 원장은 말한다. “한 번 자격증을 따면 죽을 때까지 가고, 프리랜서로 자유롭게 일할 수 있고, 다른 사람의 입과 귀가 되어 주고, 은퇴해서도 즐겁게 할 수 있고, 늘 새로운 것을 배우고 발전할 수 있는 좋은 일이니까요.” 안정된 고수입의 자기 사업을 하는 데 드는 투자는 “내 평생 습득한 이중언어와” “소액의 교육비”라고 한다.

다수의 법정 및 의료 통역사를 배출해온 엘에이동시통역대학원에서 1월부터 자격증 준비반을 시작하며 이중언어인 젊은 학생들의 참여를 기다리고 있다. 213-385-7781.

Do you know the procedure to have your document legalized for a Chinese court? Yesterday we had a client who had to submit an English letter to a Chinese court. Unfortunately, she had no idea what to do about certifying it. We checked the Chinese court, our Chinese translators in china, our Chinese translators in Los Angeles, and nobody seemed to have a clear idea. Some even said we had to get it certified at the state, Washington D.C. and Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C for $1200.

Fortunately, I was able to get the following info. 1. You need to get a certified English to Chinese translation notarized. 2. You should get an apostille from the State Registrar’s office. 3. You need to get it authenticated at the Chinese Consulate. Everything for less than $300 at https://latranslation.com/languages/chinese

Professional interpretation is one of the most lucrative, growing and diverse fields in California. As the state’s population becomes increasingly diverse, the demand for professional, certified interpreters in the courts has increased significantly over the past few decades.

Currently, full-time Certified Interpreters in the California Courts make about $73,000/year.

In U.S. District Courts, interpreters in California can earn $108,000 – $141,000/year.

Freelance interpreters make $250-$450 half day up to 3 hours, depending on languages. High profile civil cases pay $1,000 a day.

In addition, society has started to recognize the importance of professionalizing interpreters in new areas, beyond the criminal courts, most noticeably in health care.

Labor Market Information & Analysis

The following is an analysis of the interpreter job market in California, with employment statistics and job prospects for trained interpreters and translators.

In 2010, the Judicial Council of California, which oversees the Court Interpreters Program and the Certification of Court Interpreters in California, published a report entitled, “2010 Language Use and Interpreter Need in California Superior Court,” which concludes that, “taken together, the trends in service days for spoken languages suggest a sizeable and growing demand for interpretative services in California courts. The state’s courts provided more than 1 million days of spoken language interpretative services in 147 languages with the total number of service days for mandated proceedings increasing 14 percent during the study period….Spanish, as the most used language comprising 83 percent of all mandated services days, continues to be a major force driving interpreter service need. It, along with Mandarin, were the only languages showing significant increases during the study period – 11 percent and 89 percent, respectively.” The full report can be found at: http://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/language-interpreterneed-10.pdf

Despite the lingering effects of the recession, California’s fiscal crisis and the resulting budget cuts that have impacted county courts throughout the state in the past few years, the California courts continue to hire interpreters on a regular basis. A survey of interpreter job postings on Indeed.com (April 2013) identified at least a dozen openings in California Superior Courts statewide. This demand is expected to increase due to the upcoming of expansion of interpreter services in California Superior Court, as a result of a lawsuit filed against the Judicial Council of California, alleging inadequate language access for people with limited English proficiency. In addition, there is an on-going need for interpreters in a variety of non-legal venues and settings, such as workers compensation appeals board, medical appointments and evaluations, social service agencies, immigration court, school districts, and non-profits, to name a few. Interpreter agencies statewide hire interpreters on an on-going, as-needed basis. A survey on Caljobs.ca.gov in June of 2014 produced 202 listings for interpreter jobs in California (https://www.caljobs.ca.gov/jobbanks/joblist.asp?session=jobsearch&geo=0601000000&t=q&faqq=&geotype=&city=&zip=&radius= ). A more recent survey on Indeed.com ( http://www.indeed.com/jobs?as_and=Interpreter&as_phr=&as_any=&as_not=&as_ttl=&as_cmp=&jt=all&st=&salary=&radius=25&l=California&fromage=any&limit=10&sort=&psf=advsrch ) produced 550 interpreter postings in California, and more than 2,800 listings nationwide.

The website Labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov (http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/OccGuides/Detail.aspx?Soccode=273091&geography=0601000000) states that “Spanish Interpreters and Translators should have good job opportunities. This is due to the expected increase in the Spanish-speaking population. In healthcare and legal fields it is critical that information be fully understood among all parties. Therefore, demand is expected to be strong for Interpreters and Translators specializing in these fields…. In California, the number of Interpreters and Translators is expected to grow much faster than average growth rate for all occupations. Jobs for Interpreters and Translators are expected to increase by 29.2 percent, or 2,600 jobs between 2010 and 2020. (See the chart below).

Other job opportunities for interpreters exist in the health care industry. The website coeeccc.net contains a study about Healthcare interpreters, produced by the Centers for Excellence and the Health Care Interpreters in California Initiative (http://www.coeccc.net/documents/HC_Interpreter_CA_2012.pdf#search=”interpreter”), that states that “In 2011, there were a total of 289 job postings for medical/healthcare interpreters in the state of California. The types of jobs that are posted for medical/healthcare interpreters are mainly part-time, contract, on-call, and per diem positions,… Spanish were in the most demand in 2011, with 117 job postings (over 40%) seeking these translators. The other popular languages included Cantonese/Mandarin (53 job postings; 18%) and Vietnamese (27; 9%)….Over the 12-month period, there was an average of 24 postings for medical interpreters per month. The most number of related job postings (35 each month) were in March, May, and October.”…There were 32 job posting in San Francisco County and 19 in Alameda County during this period.
