2008 IMIA Conference Testing Program

In 2007 the IMIA offered for the first time the opportunity for interpreters to be tested in a pilot project conducted by Fluency Inc. There is no doubt this was a pioneering moment for the field of medical interpreting. The IMIA has since promoted interpreting skills testing as a means to advance the profession and assess your interpreting skills. Please see information on language proficiency testing and interpreting skills testing in the Resources section of this website. An impressive test result can be a great addition to your resume and the IMIA will start including testing credentials in the IMIA national registry of medical interpreters as a way to differentiate more qualified interpreters.

Taking an interpreting skills test is an effective way to prepare for IMIA Certification.

This year we are bringing several organizations that will offer testing right at the conference, several at a discount to conference participants.
