Work Progressing on the Home for Trainers
NCIHC’s Standards, Training and Certification Committee has been working hard to build the Home for Trainers. Here’s where we are as of mid-June.
- The Webinars Work Group is creating a survey to see which parts of the National Standards for Healthcare Interpreter Training Programs represent the greatest challenges for interpreter educators. The responses will be form the basis for the series of training webinars scheduled to start later this year.
- The Mentoring Work Group will soon be launching a dedicated listserv for interpreter trainers, as well as a Training Resource Marketplace, where trainers can find information and reviews about interpreter training materials, link to where the materials can be purchased, and even review materials that they have used.
- The LLD Work Group, in response to the input at the 2012 Annual Members Meeting, is gathering resources and aids focusing on the recruitment, training and assessment of interpreters in languages of lesser diffusion (LLD).
Stay tuned for more news over the summer!

Response to MediBabble
Recently two physicians from the University of California San Francisco Medical Center developed a translation tool called "MediBabble." MediBabble is a free downloadable medical translation application ("App") that is intended to assist providers in communicating with LEP patients. While some have lauded its creation, others have concerns about its use. To read an article from two NCIHC members which details those concerns, please click here.
