Welcome to the CHIA online forum. It's a new feature on our site. We do hope that it will, over time, become a venue for exchange of questions and answers, news and events, tips and best practices, all pertaining to the quality and availability of language services used in the delivery of healthcare in California. This will be fun and, we're hoping, helpful to you and the patients you serve.

This should be very helpful. In the many phone calls I have received, most often the topic is about communicating with other members, particularly between chapter meetings. This forum can bring members closer together, sharing experiences, ideas and the (occasional) pitfall!
New members can also introduce themsleves and ask for guidance - plus choose one of those valuable little "emoticoms." Let's see, how do I feel this Monday?

Hello,

I have a question to anyone who reads this post and I would greatly appreciate any help, comments, shared experiences, or tips on the following question:

Is it necessary to be a certified health care intepreter (or taking the medical interpreter exam) in order to secure a job?

Thank you for your time,

Celeste
