What the Registry is

 

The registry is a statewide, central database of individuals who have previously or are currently providing health care interpreting services in the State of Oregon and would like to be contacted health care providers. The registry is available online and searchable by potential employers seeking language services in their area.

 

Why

  1. Enrolling in the registry allows you to be contacted by employers seeking interpreters in your area increasing employment opportunities.
  2. The registry helps the State to better understand interpreters working in Oregon and the communities they serve and how to best support the profession.
  3. Registration is a prerequisite for receiving a qualification or certification from the State and will guide the Program's efforts in implementing these.
