  1. The National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters Re-certification Procedures

  2. Overview Be aware of your certification expiration date. Payments and CEUs will be accepted within 6 months of the expiration date. They are due within 45 days of the expiration date. First make your $300 payment at the following link: http://www.certifiedmedicalinterpreters.org/recertify After you have paid, submit all CEUs at the same time as an email attachment to staff@certifiedmedicalinterpreters.org

  3. Acceptable CEUs For a workshop or course to qualify for CEUs, it must be something that specifically advances the skills of medical interpreters. The National Board accepts IMIA, ATA and RID CEUs. The ATA and RID CEUs must be for workshops, conferences and events that are related to medical interpreting knowledge and professional development. The National Board can accept CEUs from other organizations besides the above list, as long as the certificate clearly states the number of CEUs or contact hours earned.

  4. Formulas Remember, you must earn 3 CEUs or 30 contact hours. IMIA: 10 hours = 1.0 CEU credit 30 minutes = .05 CEU credit 1 hour = .10 CEU credit 1 hour+15 minutes = .10 CEU credit 1 hour+30 minutes = .15 CEU credit 1 hour+45 minutes = .20 CEU credit A typical conference day is 0.6 CEUs. ATA: 1 hour = 1.0 CEU credit, which will be converted as above. As an example, the 2014 ATA conference earned 1.8 IMIA CEUs.

  5. RECERTIFICATION TIME LINE SUBMIT PAYMENT of $300 online. SUBMIT all CEUS at the same time as making the payment. CEU REVIEW (2 weeks) SUBMIT CONTACT INFORMATION for Certificate (8-10 weeks) REQUEST BADGE (optional) $35 (8-10 weeks)

  6. Frequently Asked Questions • How can I earn CEUs? Visit the IMIA Training Directory at http://imiaweb.or/education/trainingnotices.asp Choose “Only show training notices with IMIA CEUs.” Also, check the IMIA calendar of events http://www.imiaweb.org/events/default.asp IMIA now offers $25 webinars that can be accepted. ATA, RID, and various National and Regional conferences as well as certain college courses taken, may also be submitted for review.

  7. Frequently Asked Questions • When can I begin earning CEUs? Once you pass the written exam, courses you take between then and passing the oral exam can count towards your CEUs, such as conference attendance and IMIA webinars. • What if I have not earned enough CEUs and my deadline is close? You may apply for a six-month extension. • I would like to know if a course I took recently will be accepted. You may submit course information for a determination, but CEUs will not be stored one at a time.
