Here's the brief description:

Healthcare interpreters are experts in helping patients and health care providers communicate effectively. Certification is one way healthcare interpreters can provide evidence that they have the knowledge and skills required of a healthcare interpreter. It is a tool that employers and agencies can use to assure that interpreters they are working with have the appropriate skills to do the work.

The Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI) launched in 2009 to develop a national, valid, credible and vendor-neutral certification program for healthcare interpreters. To work for both the interpreter and other stakeholders, a certification must be of high quality. CCHI has already involved thousands of interpreters and other stakeholders in the development of its program. This webinar will provide an overview of CCHI, how CCHI is developing its certification and what credentials it will offer.
