CHIA's Annual Educational Conference is recognized nationwide as the premier educational and networking event in the country!

Interpreters, trainers, hospital administrators, program coordinators, industry leaders, and health care providers from California and other states around the country will gather for two days to share their knowledge and experience in skills development, hear about policy trends, and discuss how federal health care reform, The Joint Commission standards, and other policy changes are affecting healthcare language access services, and the field of healthcare interpreting.

We emphasize the importance of trained healthcare interpreters as facilitators of communication in a patient-centered communications health care system. CHIA supports interpreters' professional goals, and embraces the opportunity to offer the most possible number of Continued Education Units (CEU) at our Annual Educational Conference.
