A new program launched this week provides the first national certification for medical interpreters in the United States. This national interpreting standard provides professionals working in the medical field with the opportunity to be tested and credentialed as “Certified Medical Interpreter” (CMI). The CMI certification will be available to Spanish language interpreters, with other languages planned to be included in 2010.
“Hospitals across the country should provide their patients with qualified interpreters that can prevent the miscommunications and subsequent medical errors that still occur far too often in some of today’s hospitals,” said Mursal Khaliif, Senior Director of Multilingual Services, Cambridge Health Alliance, Cambridge, Massachusetts. “A national certification for medical interpreters has been desperately needed to ensure the safety of LEP (limited English proficiency) patients and I am extremely delighted that we now have a national standard in place.”
