Healthcare Interpreting Stakeholders

1. CCHI is looking for volunteers to participate in the Job Task Analysis (JTA) panel that will design the national JTA survey! Please fill out the application linked below (for the Position, check the box “Other” and enter “JTA panel”) and submit it by February 14, 2022.

We are looking for volunteer Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who will work remotely from March 1 through April 30, 2022. Please read about the requirements and commitment associated with this project here.

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.

Search this National Registry of CCHI-certified medical interpreters and applicants who are in the process of obtaining certification. This Registry is intended for credential verification purposes. Per CCHI’s  privacy policy, certificants and applicants choose if they wish to display their email address in the Registry; CCHI respects their decision.

The information reported on the Disciplinary Sanctions page includes only cases where the applicant, candidate, or certificant received a publicly reportable sanction. CCHI reserves the right to change which types of sanctions are published on this page.

Individuals with suspensions and revocations are strictly prohibited from representing they are credentialed by the CCHI during the period of suspension or revocation.
