Current Initiatives
1. CCHI is looking for CHI-Spanish volunteers to participate in the content development of the CHI-Spanish exam! Please fill out the application linked below (for the Position, check the box “CHI exam”) and submit it by July 31, 2022.
We are looking for volunteer Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who will work remotely from August 15 through October 30, 2022. Please read about the requirements and commitment associated with this project {link coming soon!}.
2. Medical interpreters, like other members of the patient care team, encounter multiple instances of ethical and professional dilemmas during their day-to-day practice. CCHI is managing the Repository of Critical Incident Reports (CIRs) to offer a mechanism for sharing such instances in a systemic and public manner. We encourage all medical interpreters, managers of language services, and interpreter educators to submit CIRs for public review and consideration.
