The International Medical Interpreters Association is the only national trade association committed to the advancement of professional medical interpreters as the best practice to equitable language access to health care for linguistically diverse patients. Founded in 1986, with over 2,000 members, most providing interpreting services in over 70 languages, the IMIA is the oldest and largest medical interpreter association in the country. While representing medical interpreters as the experts in medical interpreting, membership to the IMIA is open to those interested in medical interpreting and language access. We currently have a division of providers, corporate members, and trainers. Policy makers, health care administrators, and others interested in medical interpreting are also welcome to join us as associate members. In the US the organization is represented by state and city representatives, and internationally by country and city representatives in over 8 nations. The organization hosts many events such as the annual trainers and administrators symposium and the only international annual conference on medical interpretation.
