About: Interpreters working in medical settings are required to have numerous competencies, in addition to understanding a wide-range of complex terminology in order to be effective. Interpreters also need to have a solid ethical compass to guide decision-making in healthcare settings with providers and varied consumers.
This intensive three-day training is for interpreters with some experience in medical interpreting, who wish to discuss concepts in the medical milieu, including: HIPAA, legal considerations, advance directives, medical ethics, vicarious trauma, VRI work, domains, and competencies health care interpreters must possess.
CEUs: Up to 1.6 RID CEU’s available in the category of Professional Studies. No partial CEUs awarded.
Minimum Participant Qualifications: NIC, CI or CT.
For working interpreters in the Western Region: AK, WA, OR, CA, ID, NV, AZ, HI, Guam, Saipan, or American Samoa.
