"Bilingual and Beyond: Advancing your Medical Interpreting Skills" by Piet Koene - $95 (limited to a max of 20 participants)
Join us for this hands-on, language-neutral workshop on interpreting in healthcare settings (with some examples in Spanish). Designed for those who would like to better understand what a career in the field of health-care interpreting entails, this workshop will provide you with the professional training to take your work to the next level. Learn about the roles, limits and protocol of the interpreter, the professional code of conduct, the difference between words and meaning, and the cultural influences on communication. We’ll look at simultaneous and consecutive interpreting, sight translation and written translation, with practice in these areas.
Join us at the Meet & Greet Friday night. If you register for our conference or pre-conference sessions, you are invited to join us. More information on the location is coming. RSVP in the registration form below.
