Gustavo's Story
Â
Gustavo Negrete is the Actual Academic Director & Lead Instructor of the Online Interpreting School TransInterpreting. He was also certified through the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters and is currently an Executive Board Member for this same institution. He has 15 cumulative years of clinical experience, both pre-hospital as an EMT and in-hospital as a Patient Care Technician. He also is an Assessed Bilingual Staff Member who provides interpreter services. Currently, he works as an over-the-phone interpreter (OPI) for Molina Healthcare, where he interprets for various departments such as Nurse Advice Line, Member Services, High-Risk OB, Case Management, Health Management, Quality Intervention, Pharmacy, Primary and Specialty Care, and NICU.
Prior to working at Molina Healthcare, he worked for St. Joseph’s Hospital of Orange, a Magnet Hospital that received high marks in various specialties and several recognitions. He worked closely with the ER physicians and cardiologists in both capacities and would remain as the interpreter during the consent and explanation of all procedures, risks, and benefits. Strictly speaking on his clinical roles, he primarily worked as a Chest Pain Technician in charge of performing all initial and subsequent EKGs and screening patients to gather basic information, including symptoms, onset, and history.
In this role, he would also function as a liaison between the ER and Cardiology Departments assisting in the scheduling of exams like Stress Test and Lexiscan and providing updates on changes in laboratory results and/or EKGs. Additionally, he would also prepare patients for emergency intervention such as synchronized cardioversion and catheterization. In another clinical role, he would perform basic patient care such as vital signs, wound care, splinting, and several other hands-on clinical tasks.
