This interpreter support group is a safe space for medical interpreters to share their experiences.

Every Third Wednesday of the month, 5:30-6:30pm. RSVP for Zoom link. Registration is free.

We recognize the unique challenges you face in delivering crucial medical information and interpreting complex, emotionally challenging discussions. We hope to create a supportive community for you all in this challenging and rewarding profession.

This group is facilitated by Jamie Newell, LCSW, palliative care social worker at Providence with years of experience working with interpreters.

Sponsored by Providence, open to all interpreters.

Not an OSTI-sponsored event.

The Oregon Society of Translators and Interpreters is hosting a hybrid (online and in-person) conference this year.

The theme of #OSTI2026 is professional ethics, and the title is: "The Ethics Bridge: Medical & Legal Interpreting Standards."

Sessions on Oct. 3 will be held over Zoom and in Salem, Oregon.

CEUs for OSTI's 13th annual conference have already been approved by the CCHI, IMIA/NBCMI, and OJD!

Attendees can register for a half-day session (morning/virtual, morning/in person, or afternoon in person) or the full day.  OSTI members will receive discounts. See ticket types for details on full vs. half-day registration.

Note: This is a live, real-time conference, and presentations will not be recorded for future viewing unless otherwise noted. The views expressed by the conference presenters do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of OSTI.

We hope to see you on Zoom or in Salem this October!
