CATI will hold our annual conference on Saturday, October 1st, 2022
at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC.
9:00am to 5:00pm
“Working Locally, Networking Globally”
Keynote Address:
“Dorothy, You’re Not in Kansas Anymore…”:
How Interpreting in Mental Health Changes Everything
From interpreting the questions of, ‘how has your mood been’ to, ‘how do you think the interpreter feels about you’, from diagnostic criteria to experience of transference, mental health interpreting requires a unique skill set that interpreters might not immediately recognize. While some job demands certainly appear to be unique (e.g., talking about suicide), others will appear to be deceptively straightforward. This presentation aims to raise interpreting practitioners’ awareness around the unique demands in mental health settings – from the mindset of diagnostics to the nature of the dynamics.
Our Keynote will be presented by Robyn Dean PhD, CI/CT . Robyn has been a nationally certified signed language interpreter for over thirty years with particular service in the field of healthcare. Her scholarship in decision-making and ethics in community interpreting is recognized internationally. Dr. Dean has over twenty publications, all of which focus on the theoretical and pedagogical frameworks used to advance the practice of community interpreters. Dr. Dean is currently an Associate Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where she is the lead instructor on the institute’s postgraduate degree in healthcare interpretation.

Bronze Conference Sponsor
The mission of the National Board is to foster improved healthcare outcomes, patient safety, and patient/provider communication, by elevating the standards for and quality of medical interpreting through a nationally recognized and validated certification for medical interpreters.
The Hub-CMI credential and CMI certification programs are governed by the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters (National Board), an independent division of the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA).
The Hub-CMI credential has been a long-awaited opportunity for many medical interpreters who speak languages outside the existing CMI certification. Every medical interpreter in any language will have access to take this test and obtain the Hub-CMI credential. For those six languages already certified, the Hub-CMI interpreter will have the opportunity to continue growing, taking the next step towards full certification.
Effective 2018, the National Board is pleased to announce that each of the Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Vietnamese CMI certification programs have been brought together under the same nationally accepted standards and criteria, ensuring that the CMI credentialing in each of our program languages remains the most prestigious offered in the industry. Prior to 2018, the Spanish CMI certificate was subjected to an additional level of NCCA accreditation, but while the National Board remains a member of the Institute of Credentialing Excellence (ICE), each of the National Board programs have been standardized to ensure the CMI certification in each offered language best meets or exceeds nationally accepted standards, including transparency, inclusion, and access. https://www.certifiedmedicalinterpreters.org/
