What Every Interpreter Needs to Know to Get Certified

Since the National Board Written Exam is language neutral (it is all in English) all medical interpreters, regardless of the language you work in, can take at least the National Board written exams as of October 10, 2009. The oral exam for Spanish is finalized and by the end of 2010 there will be 21 other languages available. The Qualification and the Screening processes will be further developed next year so that interpreters who work in minority languages or new emerging languages can also get fully credentialed. To know what is on the exams and basic information about national certification please attend the meeting below.
