September 9, 2011 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.

July 8, 2011 Thank you for attending today's webinar!! "National Standards for Healthcare Interpreter Training Programs The Final Product"
The National Standards for Healthcare Interpreting Training Programs are a result of a systematic, deliberate and reflective process and are representative of what working interpreters and interpreter educators in the U.S. believe are important in the preparation of healthcare interpreters for entry into practice. Presenters introduced the Standards, provided a short overview on how they were developed, went over Standards themselves and discussed approaches toward the application of these standards to participants’ own training programs or training experience.
