Workshop #1 (9:00 AM – 1:15 PM)

Interpreting at the End of Life: Hanging in There and Letting Go

by Cindy Roat

Language neutral (English). Intermediate to Advanced

Continuing Education Units: 4 CIMCE, 4 ATA, 0.4 NBCMI

Interpreting for a dying patient is both a privilege and a challenge. As a patient moves from curative care to palliative care, discussions of technical medical and legal issues will mix with spiritual care and family meetings. For interpreters, end-of-life conversations can be among the most difficult to convey — not only linguistically and culturally, but personally.

This interactive four-hour workshop is designed to prepare experienced medical interpreters to work in end-of-life settings. Participants will:
· receive an introduction to the field of palliative care,
· be introduced to the specialized vocabulary and documents of palliative care,
· explore the impact of emotion and belief on the quality of interpreting,
· learn techniques to stay focused and present in emotionally draining situations, and
· learn to identify and combat secondary trauma, vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.

This multimedia, interactive training includes videos, a PowerPoint presentation, group discussion and interpreting practice. Participants will go home with a bilingual glossary of palliative care terms (available for Cantonese/traditional Chinese, Mandarin/simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) as well as vocabulary exercises and practice dialogues for ongoing independent study.

Workshop #2 (2:00 PM – 5:15 PM) 

Medical-Legal Interpreters: Extending Boundaries

by Holly Mikkelson 

Language neutral (English). Intermediate to Advanced.

Continuing Education Units: 3 CIMCE, 3 ATA, 0.3 NBCMI

This 3-hour workshop will address the issues that arise when medical interpreters and court interpreters provide services in medical-legal evaluations, each venturing out beyond the normal scope of their practice. For medical interpreters, the adversarial environment of these examinations differs from the collaborative interactions they are used to in the healthcare setting; whereas court interpreters must adjust to working in a clinical environment that is not as adversarial as the courtroom.

Can interpreters be equally competent in all settings? What are the different expectations of the legal and medical professionals and the patients/applicants with whom they work? These and more questions will be answered in an interactive session featuring a combination of lecture, discussion and role-play scenarios.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to define adversarial and collaborative interactions and identify the procedural and ethical challenges inherent in medical-legal interpreting.
