No recognised test? Jun 17, 2011

Thanks for sharing the link It was interesting to see other ways we can be tested as interpreters.

Is there no recognised test in the USA for medical interpreting? In the UK we have the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) with a Medical option. (There is also a Legal option and a Local Government option).

It seems there is a need for some sort of better-coordinated effort to make standards and practices more uniform nationwide. ▲ Collapse
