Who it is for

Who the medical track is for

Medical interpreting is graded on different units than court. Doses, frequencies, body parts and instructions carry the score, and the patient's register matters as much as the provider's.

Inside the track

What is in the track

How grading works

Every dialogue ships with an answer key of the units a rater would check: medication names, doses, routes, frequencies, body parts, numbers, instructions, and the register on both sides. Your recording is transcribed and matched against the acceptable renditions for each unit.

  • A wrong dose or frequency is a missed unitTwice a day rendered as three times a day is not partial credit, it is a miss. Same for milligrams, units of insulin and the number of days. The grader treats these the way a patient-safety reviewer would.
  • Both registers are scoredThe provider says abdomen, the patient says barriga. Upgrading the patient or downgrading the provider loses the register unit. The glossary carries both forms so the key can accept them.
  • Uncertain calls are flagged, not failedWhere the transcript is ambiguous the unit is marked yellow and you make the call. One tap teaches the grader your phrasing.

Glossary

A glossary with the patient register

1,885 terms across six modules: anatomy and symptoms, procedures and tests, medications and dosing, the twelve specialties, insurance and the system, and consent and protocol. Where MedlinePlus, NCI, CDC or FDA publish a Spanish rendition, that is the one shown first; the lay forms patients actually use sit alongside. Every term is browsable in the app and one tap from your flashcard deck.

Sources: MedlinePlus, the NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms, CDC and FDA Spanish-language pages, the HealthCare.gov glossary, and CourtFluent-written renditions (marked CF) cross-checked against The Interpreter's Companion.

About the exams

NBCMI and CCHI publish content outlines and describe the oral exam format, and the drills here follow those outlines. We are not affiliated with either board, the passages are ours and not retired exam material, and the mock exam approximates the timing each board describes rather than reproducing it. Check the board's own candidate handbook for the current format before you book.

Common questions

CMI or CHI: which one does this prepare for?

Both. The CMI (NBCMI) oral exam is consecutive and sight translation; the CHI (CCHI) adds simultaneous. Pick your exam during setup and the docket weights the modes accordingly. The dialogues, documents and glossary are shared.

It says CourtFluent. Is this really for medical interpreting?

Yes. CourtFluent started with the court interpreter oral exam, and the grader, the audio cast and the daily docket are the same engine. The medical track has its own content: 83 drills written for clinical settings, a 1,885-term glossary built from MedlinePlus, NCI, CDC and FDA Spanish materials, and an answer key that treats a wrong dose as a miss. Nothing from the court track leaks into it.

Can I hold two tracks?

Yes. One membership covers every track. You switch the active track in the sidebar and each keeps its own docket, progress and flashcards. Numbers and foundation drills are shared.

Which languages?

Spanish and English. Providers are voiced in American English, patients in Latin American Spanish with the lay vocabulary patients actually use.

How is medical grading different from court grading?

The unit categories change. Court keys lean on legal terms, names and register; medical keys lean on doses, frequencies, routes, anatomy and instructions, and the patient's register counts as much as the provider's. The mechanism is the same: your recording is transcribed and matched unit by unit against acceptable renditions.
