WSI Keeping You Informed
| Updates: We’re excited to announce the launch of a new section on the WSI website: New Interpreters. This area provides helpful information on how to become certified as an interpreter, including a step-by-step guide for obtaining Medical DSHS certification. We understand the process can be tricky, so we’ve made it as clear and straightforward as possible. If you or someone you know could benefit from this resource, please feel free to share the link. |
