Interpreting in Medical Settings Resources in Minnesota

A project of the NCIEC's HealthCare interpreting team, this web site is going through revisions to produce a new look. We have offered a number of resources through MedicalInterpreting.org and now are ready to take it to the next level. Check back here as we will be adding:

Resources on interpreting in mental health settings
Opportunities for discussion and interaction
Resources for interpreter education
Continuing education resources.

The old web site at MedicalInterpreting.org will continue to be active and some links may send you back there as we make the transition. We hope that this new format will allow for a more dynamic site which will continue to provide a wealth of valuable resources for interpreting in healthcare settings.
