    speak different languages can
    communicate.

    • CONDUIT
    • CLARIFIER
    • CULTURAL BROKER or
    CULTURAL INTERFACE

    CONDUIT
    In this role, the interpreter
    acts as a means for what is
    said by one party to reach the
    other.
    CLARIFIER
    There are times when a term
    or phrase is not heard or
    understood.
    CULTURAL BROKER or CULTURAL
    INTERFACE

    Taking on this role implies having


    knowledge on the particular
    cultural beliefs of the individuals

    In this role, the interpreter goes
    beyond being the patient’s
    voice. Here the interpreter

    the patient to get the
    appropriate care he needs.
