Workshop/Course Description:
Morning Session: Maintaining role while providing effective cultural
mediation can be a nerve-wracking task. How do I know if this is in my
purview or if I’m stepping outside the boundaries of the Code of
Professional Conduct? During this session, participants will explore how to
approach the “gray area” that exists when mediating the two cultures in
interpreters work. An analysis of the cultural disparities will be performed
in conjunction with a look at common mistakes made by interpreters while
navigating cultures. The goal of this workshop is to help participants avoid
making decisions based on intuition alone. Instead, through group discussion
and case studies, attendees will develop an approach to mediating culture
that supports the full interaction and independence of the consumer.
Afternoon Session: This is an interactive and dynamic workshop. Focus will
be on the ethical considerations that must be taken into account when
considering the specialty of medical interpreting. Practical applications
of national standards of practice will be explored, and attendees will
participate in dynamic discussions in order to troubleshoot ethical
challenges in real-world interpreting scenarios.
