Event Description:
Course includes pre-coursework plus live webinar participation (3 - 5 PM EST). Participants are required to complete pre-coursework for each level prior to the live webinar. Registration will close at 3 PM EST on June 16 to allow for participants to have adequate time to complete the pre-course work.
Participants will connect live via web video with a strong broadband connection through your PC, laptop, iOS device (iPad/iPhone) or Android device. Device must have camera/audio/video capabilities. Once registered, information to access pre-coursework will be emailed. Connection details will be provided before each live event.
The first part of this course provides an intense examination of foreign language interpreter ethics and national standards of practice. Principles and ethical standards from the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC), the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA), and the California Healthcare Interpreter Association (CHIA) are examined, compared, and contrasted. Because interpreter ethics questions comprise between 15% and 35% of the written exams for national certification, the goal of this course is to assist the participant in preparing for the national foreign language interpreter certification exams currently offered by CCHI and The National Board (IMIA). This course offers seven hours of medical interpreter training that, when combined with Levels 1 through 3, provides the participant with 40 hours of medical interpreter training, one of the prerequisites required to take the national certification exams.
*Note: It is highly recommended that only individuals who have completed Levels 1 and 2 attend and bring their Level 1 manual.
