Event Details

The Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators
The Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators was formed to address the inconsistency in qualifications for professional interpreters in the state of Texas. TAHIT is working to achieve standard qualifications for the healthcare interpreter to ensure accurate transmission of vital medical information and provision of excellent healthcare to all, regardless of their ability to speak English.
