IMIA 2010 Conference
		IMIA 2010 Conference: 2010 International Medical Interpreters Conference Ensuring Patient Safety for Language Minority Patients - A New Standard of Care - September 3-5, 2010 The Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School Boston, Massachusetts USA
This year promises to be a very special conference with a lot of resources and tools being offered to medical interpreters. While in the past few years the IMIA has held its conferences at hotels, this year we made the conscious decision to move away from a hotel and focus on a more academic learning environment. We are extremely pleased with our venue location and if you want to take a peak go to http://www.theconfcenter.hms.harvard.edu/. This year we are also encouraging more providers to present on specialized medical terminology workshops to better prepare interpreters for national certification.
