CCHI is looking for certified interpreters to volunteer for the JTA Test Blueprint Panel

We are calling for volunteers to participate in the Job Task Analysis (JTA) Test Blueprint Panel. Under the guidance of CCHI’s testing vendor, the panel will review the results of the 2022 JTA survey and validate the blueprints of the CCHI certification exams. The work will take place on August 27-28 via Zoom (see details below). Please fill out the application linked below (for the Position, check “Other” and enter “JTA panel”) and submit it by July 31, 2022.

We are looking for volunteer Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who will work remotely August 15 through September 15, 2022. CCHI will provide all the necessary orientation and training via online collaboration tools. All tasks will also be performed remotely via video conference calls and other online applications. Please read about the commitment below so that you understand the scope of work.

Who should apply?

Our goal is to convene a diverse panel of SMEs, certified CoreCHI™ and CHI™ interpreters, who represent healthcare interpreters in the U.S. in a comprehensive manner. We are looking for volunteers – practicing interpreters who have CoreCHI™ or CHI™ certification (this requirement is mandatory) – who:

• have various years of experience – from 0 to 10+
• work in different modalities and different healthcare settings
• represent different regional varieties of their LOTE (Language Other Than English)
• may also be managers  or trainers (with previous practicing interpreter experience)

What are your commitments (if selected)?

• Sign CCHI’s Confidentiality and Content Security Agreements. (Review our SME Participation Policies prior to applying.)
• 12 hours of live participation over 2 meetings and 4 hours of independent work:

1. Be able to complete a self-paced online orientation module between August 15-25, 2022, which would require approximately 2 hours of time.

2. Be available for the 2 (two) Zoom video conference meetings, of 6-hour duration each at 11 am – 5:30 pm Eastern Time (adjust for your time zone; each day there will be a 30-min lunch break  and 2 short breaks), on August 27 and 28, 2022 (Saturday and Sunday).

3. Be available for follow-up assignments between August 29 and September 15, which would require up to 2 hours of your time.

Please apply only if you are available during the above times for both of these 2 dates (i.e., 12 hours of total time).

This is a volunteer project. CCHI will not pay any honorarium for participation in this project. However, CCHI will grant 4 PB CE instructional and 2 CE non-instructional hours for participation, and issue a voucher of $150 value that can be applied towards the certification renewal fee.
