ATTENTION CCHI certificants:
CCHI requires signatures or other verification (codes, etc.) for attending conference sessions in addition to the general certificate of attendance for those conferences that have 1) concurrent sessions and 2) some of the sessions that are not related to healthcare interpreting and do not meet our continuing education requirements. Please check the conference program ahead of time and see the above listings with sessions that CCHI accredited because they meet our CE criteria.
If a conference does not offer their own attendance tracking document, you may use CCHI CE Template to collect the signatures from presenters to verify that you attended their presentation. Print out blank templates and take them to the event.
