I've recently started doing medical interpretation and find that it very difficult to find organizations who value using an interpreter who is present for the session, as oppose to having an interpreter via phone line. Do you often do your work via phone line or are you present with the clients? Also, how were you able to find job opportunities? Clearly you are very accomplished in regards to the language but I often hear actually finding work is very difficult. Thank you for the AMA! I can't wait to read your responses to everyone's questions.

Completely understandable. I prefer being there in person as well. While I work for a hospital often times I am one the phone with patients. I guess we'll have to wait and see how the field continues to develop. Best wishes to you in work and life!
