Description of Healthcare Interpreting Training
The program for Promoting Equity in Healthcare Interpreting has created a series of modules on medical interpreting. These are being offered at no cost to participants and supported by an RSA training grant.
The modules should take about 5.5 hours to complete and cohort participants will be awarded .55 CEUs by RID in Professional Studies for each module. BEI CEUs may also be available, please check with the relevant CEU authority in your state. There are a total of 15 modules and a 20-hours induction experience for 2.0 CEUs. Cohort 3 participants will have the opportunity to earn up to 10.25 CEUS for completing all of the modules.
This asynchronous online training can be completed at your own pace - but - each module must be completed within two weeks (14 days) to receive CEUs.
