Interpreter Education Online is happy to announce that two of its courses for medical interpreters, the Cardiovascular System and CI Techniques for Medical interpreters, have been approved by the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA).
According to the IMIA website, "Continuing Education Programs exist so that professionals can quantify and earn credit for all the continuing educational programs they participate in. Professional interpreters should earn and keep track of continuing education credits, as determined by IMIA guidelines. Certified medical interpreters, CMIs, in order to maintain their certification credential, will need to obtain 3 Interpreter CEUsŪ (30 hours of continuing education within 5 years). Certified members are therefore given five years to accumulate 30 hours of documented credit. " IMIA has approved IEO's Cardiovascular System course for 0.75 CEUs and CI Techniques for Medical Interpreters for 0.6 CEUs. For more information, visit our CEUs page.
