This workshop will be unlike others you have attended. We will offer both a Deaf and an interpreter perspective on common medical interpreting challenges. Large group activities will be done in ASL. Break-out activities will give the participants a chance to receive small group instruction in either English or ASL. Topics will include:<\/p>\n
** Developing medical vocabulary
\n** Using descriptive classifiers in the medical setting
\n** Reviewing video clips of Deaf people describing various symptoms and treatments to develop your sign vocabulary and voicing skills
\n** Providing resources and follow up activities for interpreters to develop medical interpreting skills in the future<\/p>\n
