60-Hour Health Care Interpreter Training
About
OHCIA's 60-hour training course has been approved by the Oregon Health Authority. This course provides a foundation for health care interpreting including human anatomy, physiology and medical terminology. Students learn about message conversion, memory, sight translation and other skills necessary for professional interpreting. We review language access laws and the Code of Ethics for Health Care Interpreters. This language-neutral training program is taught in English and prepares interpreters in the seven spoken languages and ASL identified as eligible for national and state certification and prepares other language interpreters for qualification in the state of Oregon.
OHCIA’s 60-Hour Health Care Interpreter Training is perfect for both new and experienced interpreters. Our training will allow you to get the necessary credentials to be part of a healthcare team! OHCIA’s 60-hour training costs $645.

Financial Assistance
Scholarships
Because we know the financial difficulty to afford the training in these times, OHCIA is on the WorkSource Training Provider List, so health care interpreters can apply for federal funding from a WorkSource Oregon Center to pay for tuition and possibly other costs associated with the qualification and certification required by the state.
