The medical interpreting profession continues to evolve as healthcare delivery, technology, workforce practices, and language services change.
UMIA News & Updates is where we will share information and perspectives on developments affecting medical interpreters, healthcare organizations, and the patients who depend on professional language access.
We will follow issues involving interpreter compensation and working conditions, professional standards and recognition, credentialing and vetting practices, privacy and confidentiality, technology and remote interpreting, patient safety, and important developments within the language services industry.
Our goal is to provide clear, fact-based information and help medical interpreters and other stakeholders better understand how changes within the industry may affect the profession and the quality of healthcare communication.
As the medical interpreting field continues to change, UMIA will continue to advocate for professional standards, responsible practices, transparency, accountability, and the recognition medical interpreters deserve.
