Tele-interpreting is becoming exponentially present in all social and medical services as a resource for communication to assist patients and users in Spain. Healthcare services and institutions are developing resources to cope with the need of communication in regions with intense traffic of tourism and immigration such as the South of Spain. The training of professional interpreters must be attuned to the real needs of society to reach quality standards. Thus, a close collaboration of healthcare professionals, professional interpreters and interpreting companies with university students and researchers is crucial for a proper training of those students.
