This workshop is a beginner-level course, designed for those interpreters who have little to no experience working in the field of Medical Interpreting. The six hours will cover such topics as: settings in which Medical Interpreting occurs, the professionals we may encounter in those settings, common medical jargon and abbreviations, how the interpreter’s role is defined in the area of Medical Interpreting and various organizations that support Medical Interpreters, resources for more information on Medical Interpreting, and group discussion. By exploring these topics this workshop will provide a base of knowledge that will enable interpreters to make better decisions at all steps of the interpreting process. There will also be time designated for group activity focused around decision making and the Medical Interpreter.

Workshop Information:
A skill based workshop which, after discussing foundational information for Deaf and Hearing Interpreting teams, will provide the opportunity to practice working together. Some techniques that will be taught are how to approach clients, explain the interpreters' roles and how to arrange the participants for the best communication success in a variety of situations. We will also learn how to utilize each interpreter’s strengths in different situations, identify and understand each interpreter’s role in the communication process, some methods of feeding and receiving information and the various associated techniques necessary for a successful interpretation, and much more!
