I am about to take my Exam for Medical Interpreting test of the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters. I actually failed it the first time, because I could not answer correctly regarding practical situations in real life in medical encounter settings. I do not have this experience and need to learn more about medical code of ethics and standards of practices. I would like to know if anyone out there can direct me to a web site that has some real world situations I can read about and the correct solutions to these.

Perhaps this will help Oct 2, 2010

Check out this course: http://www.imiaweb.org/education/details.asp?id=339

At the very end of the description, it says: "3. Given a medical encounter scenario, choose the most appropriate interpreter action based on the Standards." - Does it sound like what you are looking for?
