The NCIHC National Standards for Healthcare Interpreter Training Programs Advisory Committee members are: Marjory Bancroft, MA, Director, Cross-Cultural Communications, Columbia, Maryland Eduardo Berinstein, Interpreter/ Nora Goodfriend-Koven, City College of San Francisco Katherine Langan, PhD, Mercy Medical Center, Des Moines, Iowa Marilyn Mochel, RN, Healthy House, Merced, California Elizabeth Nguyen, MA, Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles Robert Pollard, PhD, University of Rochester, New York Barbara Rayes, Interpreter/ Agustin Servin de la Mora, Florida Institute of Interpretation and Translation Laurie Swabey, PhD, College of St. Catherine, St. Paul, Minnesota The Advisory Committee will be supported in its work by the current members of the NCIHC’s Standards, Training and Certification (STC) Committee which is leading the project: Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, Karin Ruschke, Maria Paz Avery, Bruce Downing, Carola Green, and Cindy Roat. “While there has been a significant spotlight on certification lately, the fact is that unless we can ensure that interpreters receive the training necessary to result in the competencies required of their job, taking a test is not going to be the fix that everyone is looking for” stated Joy Connell, NCIHC Board Co-Chair. As Karin Ruschke, NCIHC STC Committee Co-Chair elaborated, “These standards for training programs will continue NCIHC’s work over the past 16 years to advance the profession of healthcare interpreting. This project is a key piece in the overall healthcare picture.” For more information about the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC) and the National Standards for Training project, visit http://www.ncihc.org # # # About NCIHC: The NCIHC started as an informal working group in 1994 and met yearly until it was formally established in 1998.
