Interpreting Industry Conferences
ATTENTION CCHI certificants:
CCHI requires signatures or other verification (individual certificates for each online session/webinar; codes, etc.) for attending specific 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 listings below with sessions that CCHI accredited because they meet our CE criteria.
If an in-person 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.
CCHI does not accept emails confirming registration or payment or any kind of self-attestation as proof of attending a conference (online or in person). Attendance of a specific session at any virtual conference must be verified by the event organizer.
It is the certified interpreter’s responsibility to obtain necessary documentation from the conference organizers. CCHI is not responsible for how conference organizers communicate with their attendees and what attendance documentation they provide.
