The CCHI certification exam consists of two main components: a written exam that tests language proficiency and knowledge of medical terminology, and an oral exam that evaluates the candidate’s ability to interpret in healthcare scenarios.
The written exam is designed to assess the candidate’s language proficiency and understanding of medical terminology, ensuring they can accurately interpret in healthcare settings.
The oral exam is conducted in a simulated healthcare setting, where candidates must demonstrate their interpreting skills through role-playing exercises that mimic real healthcare scenarios.
The Knowledge Exam focuses on testing the candidate's fluency in medical terminology and language skills, ensuring they have the necessary linguistic capabilities to accurately interpret in healthcare contexts.
The oral exam involves role-playing scenarios that simulate real-world healthcare situations. These scenarios require the interpreter to demonstrate their ability to accurately interpret both medical terminology and the nuances of patient-provider communication.
