Medical Interpreters SIG

 

The NOTIS Medical Interpreters SIG is dedicated to promoting professionalism and excellence in interpretive services to enhance the provision of health and social services to ethnic communities.

The Medical Interpreters SIG inherited the objectives of the Society of Medical Interpreters (SOMI), and has assumed coordination of its popular Interpreter's Forum, a monthly training event for medical interpreters.
