	Presenter:	Jonathan Rogers
	Description:	Language disorders affect an individual's ability to use and understand oral and written language. People with language disorders typically have difficulties with word learning and word retrieval, have a hard time organizing their thoughts, and need extra time to process complex verbal information. The fast paced environment and technical vocabulary of the medical and legal systems are especially problematic for people with language disorders. Language disorders and related language-based learning disabilities often go undiagnosed, and without the proper supports can lead to educational underachievement and reduced job opportunities. Poverty and lack of opportunity leads to a vicious cycle that is hard to escape. Adult inmates are 3-5 times more likely to meet diagnostic criteria for a language disorder and it is estimated that the prevalence among juvenile defendants may be as high as 54-85%. Foreign language interpreters are very likely to encounter clients who are affected by language disorders. The double communication barrier of limited English proficiency and language disorders leads to unique challenges for the interpreter.

	Presenter:	Heather Brown
	Description:	The workshop is a 2 day event, covering all aspects an interpreter would need to know to stay safe and be effective in the medical environment. We have a unique presentation, as we team-teach with a seasoned ASL interpreter (Anna McDuffie, BS, CI/CT, NIC, SC:L) and a 20 year veteran of front line health care, as well as university professor (Heather Brown, MS, PA-C, DFAAPA). We focus on getting the information no one teaches interpreters about medical assignments out to participants in a clear, concise, and instantly usable format. We developed the content organically, as it came about in our real lives as friends, as Anna found herself in medical situations repeatedly with no resources or knowledge to handle them appropriately; we always wondered, what happens to those who don't have a friend to call and get the information from? It was from this desire to educate that we developed this conference material. As it stands now, the Advanced Medical Interpreting workshop is a 4 part event, each section is 4 hours, for a total of 16 hours of CEU. We cover a variety of medical topics including preparation, health care law, being part of the team, infectious diseases, immunization and personal health, medical terminology, interpreting questions, mental health and legal issues. Throughout the event, we stress ethical decision making, adherence to best practices, and critical thinking to empower interpreters to make the best decisions for patients to ensure effective communication and excellent health care outcomes. We incorporate lecture, demonstrations, group work, Q an A, patient care scenarios, and quiz formats to ensure learning objectives are met. The four parts of the workshop are: "The Process: Are They Really Letting Me Do This Unsupervised"- the A to Z of the medical interpreting process in the Dr’s office and in the hospital. Preparation, professionalism, interpreting strategies, hospital protocol, giving report, HIPAA, informed consent, patient care standards, being a part of the medical team as the language expert, common medical abbreviations "The Science: Danger, Don't Get Any On Ya" - an in depth explanation of contact, droplet, airborne precautions, vaccinations, infectious diseases, operating room and the sterile field. Where to stand in the OR, How to safety work in medical settings without getting sick or infected, how to wear the appropriate PPE for each patient encounter and common cardiac meds. Participants will work together to tackle tough patient scenarios encompassing material taught in day 1. "The Mechanics: Can I Buy A Vowel" medical terminology (Latin prefixes, suffices and root words), asking medical questions- a physician’s approach, techniques for interpreting medical questions and common medical tests (X-ray, MRI, Cat Scan, colonoscopy, endoscopy, heart cath) "The Switcharoo: Things Just Got Complicated". – what to do when medical assignments become legal, when medical assignments become mental health, involve palliative/hospice care, involved DFCS, sticky family dynamics, working with a 2nd language interpreter and common lab tests (CBC, Chem panel, BNP, etc). This section culminates in cumulative scenarios to highlight real life decision making and ethical work habits with patients in medical settings.

	Description:	This 20-hour e-learning course will help expand your consecutive interpreting skills and work opportunities by enhancing your memory aids using the FAST Method, a note-taking technique created by CCCI at CCCS, Inc.™ Prior to starting the course it is recommended that you purchase a notebook and pen. This interactive 9-lesson course provides interpreters with clear steps on how to develop a personal note-taking style in order to maximize one’s memory capacity by practicing over 150 exercises. During this course, you will be guided through the note-taking process while applying their developed skills. It is recommended that you work on one lesson at a time. Most of the modules contain handouts, flashcards, and/or quizzes. Towards the end of the course, you will be provided with the opportunity to take notes on paragraphs of information. This mimics the interpreting encounter and enables you to master their note-taking abilities. All of the activities have been designed so that the new skills learned can be completely developed. One of the key features associated with this course is the numerous audio/visual presentations that help bring life to the main concepts of this course. Learning this advanced skill will facilitate the flow and accuracy of the session, as note-taking can be highly personalized.

Using seven years of data from Liberty Language Services, we will evaluate case studies in which an interpreter's behavior caused their client to complain. This walk-through will serve to help interpreters to not only identify, but also avoid behaviors that negatively affect the interpreting experience. An analysis of these mistakes will be a discussion about the ways in which the code of ethics was violated by the interpreter. A small portion at the end of the workshop will be set aside for questions from the interpreters in the audience about their own experiences.

	Description:	This presentation provides an overview of what interpreters need to know before working with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Trauma-informed interpreting is key to putting Limited English Proficient victims front and center where their healing, recovery and access to justice are the main focus. Interpreters must be prepared for the stress, potentially chilling details, and coarse language, all while supporting survivor autonomy and avoiding re-traumatizing the crime victim. Through case studies and small group discussions, participants will learn how the dynamics of trauma affects victims and how to adapt their professional interpreting skills to those situations. Understanding what issues a foreign-born domestic violence victim is facing allows interpreters to better understand the mindset of interpreting sessions whether they are for social services, legal or medical settings. An interpreter’s emotional preparedness is a key factor to avoiding re-traumatizing victims. Preparation might include practicing terms of violence, body parts and obscene language, as well as rehearsing deep breathing, visualizing peaceful imagery to lessen interpreter distress. The interpreter must also be aware of and recognize that by the nature of this work, they may experience vicarious trauma. Participants will learn the signs of such trauma and walk away knowing how to prepare their own self-care plan for use prior to, during and after interpreting sessions for victims of crime.

	Description:	Medical interpreters are exposed to many challenging demands each day. This exposure can cause “emotional residue” where the interpreter experiences the same emotions and physical symptoms experienced by patients and staff. After interpreting for a sensitive case, how does one “get it together” before moving to another assignment and provide high quality service? An accumulation of emotions can lead to post-traumatic stress. Applying proper techniques can help reduce this emotional residue and allow one to perform at optimal levels. Learn that it’s okay to talk about your work, and that it’s critical as our customers depend on it.

	Description:	This one hour workshop goes over some common yet tricky idioms, phrases and questions that medical interpreters encounter during their interpreting sessions and provides suggestions on how to render them to Spanish. This workshop won’t be focusing on individual words- like a dictionary would- but rather on entire phrases and questions (in English) which might pose a challenge for interpreters when trying to render them to Spanish. Each “challenging phrase” and the context in which the phrase is used are presented to the attendee so that the attendee understands how the idiom or phrase fits into the context being discussed. Over one hundred phrases are covered. Some examples are given of how the meaning of an idiom or phrase can change when the context in which it is being used changes. Most of the phrases covered are encountered on a daily basis by medical interpreters and do not make much sense when literally translated so focus has been placed on the meaning of the phrase to conform to the context in which it is presented. The “challenging phrases” found in this workshop, apply to a wide range of medical specialties (i.e. Emergency medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics, etc.) and clinical settings (emergency room, inpatient, outpatient, Workers Comp Evaluations, etc.). The appropriate interpretation of these phrases will greatly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of interpreters’ skills. The attendee will be able to: - Interpret over 100 idioms and difficult phrases to Spanish. - Improve the accuracy of their renditions, encouraging the use of more natural-sounding Spanish constructions. - Analyze phrases within a given context and understand that their meaning may change in other contexts (stimulate critical thinking).

Most adults remain uncomfortable broaching the subject despite the reality that at least 1 in 10 children experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. To overcome this barrier and begin a real conversation, the workshops use the nationally recognized and evidence informed Stewards of Children child sexual abuse prevention curriculum. The workshop integrates survivor stories, facts about child sexual abuse, and concrete steps that Health Care Interpreters can take to recognize, prevent and respond skillfully to concerns. Interpreters will learn how to identify child sexual abuse and how to properly respond to suspicions of abuse in an ethical and professional manner. Interpreters will be given scenarios to review and role-play. Discussions will be held on issues including HIPPA, ethics, and standards of practice.

	Description:	For interpreters working in health care, consecutive interpreting is the primary mode used to facilitate communication between providers and patients. Thus, the mastery of this interpreting modality is vital to ensure that the interpreted message is delivered accurately and completely. In this laboratory course, you’ll have the opportunity to practice with realistic vignettes in several medical settings to expand your general knowledge in many areas. These hands-on exercises will help you enhance your consecutive interpreting skills with regards to active listening, note-taking, concentration, visualization, and delivery. Each simulated medical encounter is rich in medical jargon, idiomatic expressions, and challenging segments that will encourage you to continue to explore ways to become more proficient in this interpreting modality.

	Description:	One of the most difficult and emotionally charged areas in a hospital for medical interpreters is without a doubt, the Emergency Department. Depending on the specific unit inside the ED and with the right combination of factors, such as the patient�s and family member�s level of distress as well as the difficulty in trying to listen, understand and convey information to the healthcare provider could make the job of the interpreter a difficult task. If we add other elements, including, advanced medical terminology, confined areas filled with healthcare providers all requesting immediate information from the patient and expecting the interpreter to deliver fast, accurate and flawless feedback, it could complicate things even further. This presentation will show the participants the most common reasons a patient is likely to visit an Emergency Room. What to expect in terms of names for some of the most common and advanced medical conditions and diagnostic procedures � all taken from real life cases, both in Spanish and English - will also be covered. Participants will learn about the most common mistakes an interpreter is likely to make in these situations and how to solve them. Other complicating aspects that usually hinder communication in these situations, such as Cultural Differences and phrase normalization will also be discussed. Finally, practical tips and strategies on how to improve the overall skills of the medical interpreter will be presented. This is a medium to advance level, bilingual (Spanish and English) presentation.

	Description:	HealthPartners is conducting a training for medical interpreters on Dementia and Stroke to enhance their ability to interpret for patients receiving care in the neuroscience and stroke specialties. Spoken language interpreters play an essential role in providing high quality, effective and safe health care to patients and members. Upon completion of this training, not only will interpreters have improved skills that will enable them to be more effective at their job, the health and experience of HealthPartners patients and members will ultimately benefit as well. We know vascular dementia is a common post-stroke problem which affects cognitive function or thinking abilities. Vascular dementia makes it difficult for patients to process information. This can lead to memory loss, confusion, decreased attention span and problems performing everyday activities. Whether a stroke affects thinking and reasoning depends on the stroke's severity and location. Vascular dementia also can result from other conditions that damage blood vessels and reduce circulation, depriving your brain of vital oxygen and nutrients. Thus, this training will provide interpreters with the knowledge and tools to improve the facilitation of these discussions with HealthPartners patients and members. This training will improve how HealthPartners supports and cares for its patients and members who speak languages other than English by understanding,

	Description:	The partnership between clinicians and interpreters in the provision of care is especially valuable in palliative care and end of life encounters. For this reason, the Division of Palliative Medicine has created a series of clinical education dialogues to facilitate and improve the quality of the partnership between palliative care clinicians and medical interpreters. This series includes six hour-long sessions and articles to be read in advance of each session. Although each session stands alone and provides certified medical interpreters with CEU credits, participants who complete the series will receive both CEUs and a certificate of completion. Sessions will be offered to Brigham and Women’s Hospital professional medical interpreters and will be facilitated by clinicians from the Division of Adult Palliative Care at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Division of Palliative Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Expert palliative care clinicians (physicians, nurse practitioners, chaplains and social workers) will serve as faculty. This second session will employ small group conversations and a larger group facilitated discussion, during which interpreters and palliative care clinicians will share their needs and expectations of a family meeting. This session will provide interpreters with a unique platform for sharing the challenges they face during family meetings. Providers will learn why interpreters benefit from being included in a pre-family meeting huddle and how this can impact the quality of communication during the meeting. Palliative care clinicians will share their concerns when facilitating an interpreted family meeting.

	Description:	Interpreters work hard to master the specialized terminology used in their field of practice. Effective communication, however, depends on much more than the interpreter’s knowledge of specialized terminology. The interpreter must also be skilled at analyzing the full meaning of the speakers’ messages – from the very technical to the very colloquial and everything in between – as the first step to rendering a successful interpretation. In this class, interpreters develop skills to identify the full meaning of speakers’ messages while maintaining a natural flow of communication between the speakers. This class includes English language examples and practice exercises with a particular focus on communication in medical settings. Participants are encouraged to come prepared with examples from their own experience.

	Description:	Abstract Details Demand Control Schema is a framework for ethical decision making used by Sign Language Interpreters. This workshop will explain the theory Demand-Control Schema developed by Robyn Dean and Robert Pollard. It will explain why it's beneficial for interpreters to incorporate this method as they navigate through difficult ethical situations. Often times, seasoned interpreters are unable to verbalize the applicable demands of each interpreting encounter, this inability to verbalize gut feelings/experience can hinder the interpreters' ability to stay neutral. The theory of Demand Control helps interpreters to structure gut feelings and convert them into a clear list of demands vs controls (options). Presentation The presentation will be delivered through a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation will begin with introducing the four types of demands (environmental, interpersonal, paralinguistic, and intrapersonal). An example of each will be provided, highest emphasis will be on environmental and intrapersonal. At which point it will follow with the different types of controls (pre-assignment controls, during the assignment controls, post assignment controls). Teaching Methodology This workshop will be presented with a 'peel-the-onion' approach, the presentation will start with the 'why' we need a structure for ethical decision making, and then introduce the theory of DC-S as a framework. When discussing intra-personal demands, interpreters will learn ways to develop emotional intelligence. Finally, we will review all layers of ethical decision making and practice naming demands and identify controls. Workshop Dynamic and Format Self-reflection. To make participants aware of their own behaviors, different types of acceptable types of interpreter behaviors will be presented to encourage interpreters to reflect on their current decision methods. As the workshop progresses, we will introduce the same behaviors from the DC-S microscope. Format The workshop will be presented using online using Webex. Webex will be used to track attendance, provide certificates and provide a quiz.

	Description:	Similar to other professions, healthcare interpreters are expected to follow certain guidelines as they perform their work. A code of ethics offers healthcare interpreters guidance on difficult decisions that they will need to make and a clear explanation of the type of behavior that is considered "ethical" or "correct" or "right" under the circumstances. This is a self-paced training, designed to give healthcare (or medical) interpreters an overview or a review of the concept of ethics and the ethical principles that they should strive to adhere to as a member of the healthcare team. During this training, you will complete four lessons and three quizzes, including reflection activities and questions about best practices.

	Description:	Our codes of professional conduct have been carefully created to provide guidance in the cases of interpreting dilemmas. Unfortunately, life doesn't always look like Best Practices dictate that it should, and we don't always do the right thing when interpersonal problems are at work or our careers are on the line. This session intends to give participants hands-on tools for addressing issues that come up while interpreting. Attendees will be encouraged to share their own dilemmas with one another. Codes of Ethics for legal and/or healthcare interpreting will be carefully reviewed, and then participants will brainstorm how to approach dilemmas differently in the future. Attendees will come away from this workshop with a better understanding of how to apply the codes of ethics in a way that makes practical sense.

Proverbs are a short pithy saying in general use, stating a general truth or piece of advice. For example, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". As a native Spanish speaker, I knew a many proverbs and idioms in my own language and always enjoyed finding the correct translation or equivalent in English. I started collecting, for obvious reasons, the ones related to body parts and now made a webinar about it! During this 2-hour live webinar I will teach about idioms and proverbs that include body parts, their meaning, an equivalent in Spanish, and examples!

	Description:	The partnership between clinicians and interpreters in the provision of care is especially valuable in palliative care and end of life encounters. For this reason, the Division of Palliative Medicine has created a series of clinical education dialogues to facilitate and improve the quality of the partnership between palliative care clinicians and medical interpreters. This series includes six hour-long sessions and articles to be read in advance of each session. Although each session stands alone and provides certified medical interpreters with CEU credits, participants who complete the series will receive both CEUs and a certificate of completion. Sessions will be offered to Brigham and Women’s Hospital professional medical interpreters and will be facilitated by clinicians from the Division of Adult Palliative Care at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Division of Palliative Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Expert palliative care clinicians (physicians, nurse practitioners, chaplains and social workers) will serve as faculty. Interpreters and palliative care clinicians will increase their understanding of and comfort with the use of cultural brokering or mediation during code status conversations and family meetings. Through small group discussion, interpreters will review the challenges they face when attempting to engage in cultural mediation during palliative care family meetings. Palliative care clinicians will then advise interpreters on techniques to facilitate huddles with providers prior to end of life family meetings and to facilitate cultural mediating during the meetings. The clinicians will describe paternalistic versus patient autonomy styles of care and individualistic versus communal types of cultures as they impact patient and family decision-making.

	Description:	Interpreting in end-of-life situations can be the most emotional and challenging work that a healthcare interpreter does. A study by Silva et al in 2016 concluded that LEP (Limited English Proficient) patients had worse quality of end-of-life care and goals of care discussions when professional interpreters were not used.” The role of the interpreter in conveying accurate information, providing cultural mediation and advocating is vital to the quality of care for LEP patients, families and healthcare providers. This workshop will cover the language; the role of the interpreter; and the ethical challenges of end of life interpreting. The workshop will be broken up into 4 parts: 1. The medical vocabulary and concepts of end of life and the dying process 2. The role of the interpreter in the end of life setting 3. Ethical challenges and decision making in the end of life setting. Dealing with the emotional impact of interpreting in the end of life setting Past experiences, both professional and personal, can significantly impact and influence healthcare interpreters when working in the end of life setting. The goal of this workshop is to allow interpreters to take these experiences along with the material and vocabulary learned to improve and inform their work in this setting in the present and for future encounters as well.

	Description:	Interpreting & translating requires not only extensive vocabulary in both source and target languages but also a basic knowledge of the particular subject matter itself. The more the interpreter/translator is proficient in the subject matter, especially in technical matters, the more the interpreter’s effectiveness is enhanced. Simply translating terms, without understanding what they are talking about is working under a handicap. Firearms Identification, Ammunition and Forensic Ballistics, is a field in which very few interpreters/translators have much expertise. Aside from a woeful lack of knowledge in this area, many have erroneous ideas, which cause them to make mistakes on the job. This webinar will bridge this knowledge gap through visual aids, video examples, handouts and live demonstrations of guns, ammunition, and forensic procedures.

	Description:	Genetic Counseling Cultural Competence Toolkit Cases is an on-demand completely online course composed of cases set in genetic counseling settings. Nine in-depth cases use the typical process of genetic counseling to exemplify how to apply cultural and religious assessment, principles of health literacy, awareness of personal biases and other topics to result in a more culturally sensitive session. The course is embedded in a larger resource portal website that provides information and resources to medical interpreters, genetic counselors, and other health professionals with content about health disparities, cross cultural communication, and other topics to assist them in their continuing journey to increase cultural and linguistic competence when working with all clients. Each case follows a structure that includes individual objectives, topic specific content, self-awareness and learning activities, resources, references, and an expert commentary. The course is suitable for medical interpreters working in any setting but especially those who want to learn more about genetic counseling practice. Learning is assessed by a short multiple choice quiz for each case. When the learning is completed, the answers to the quizzes, evaluation of each quiz, and evaluation of the entire program must be submitted and reviewed. A pass score of 80% or higher is required to successfully complete the course. The program was assessed by practicing genetic counselors to evaluate length of time to complete. The course is currently approved for 1.443 Category 1 CEUs by the National Society of Genetic Counselors and for 1.44 CEUs by the IMIA (Activity 17-1002).

	Description:	Genetics is an evolving field where clinical implications for patients sometimes pose communication challenges for providers. As members of the medical care team, medical interpreters are expected to serve as conduits during interactions with patients and their families that are rife with unfamiliar genetic terms and concepts. Knowledge gaps in genetics could compromise the accuracy of the interpretation and other ethical principles. Genetic literacy among medical interpreters can contribute to improve the standards of care and ultimately, health outcomes.

	Description:	El aparato respiratorio (the respiratory system) is composed of the nose, airways, and lungs, but it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a structure that helps with the exchange of oxygen-rich air into the lungs and carbon dioxide out of the lungs. As English/Spanish interpreters, we can only interpret what we understand. Therefore, we need to be familiarized with the basic information about the respiratory system since it is a common topic present during any basic medical encounter. After this 2-hour English/Spanish webinar, participants will be familiar with basic anatomy, terminology, diseases and conditions, diagnosis, and treatments of el aparato respiratorio (the respiratory system)in both languages. The webinar will be conducted in Spanish with vocabulary in English.

	Description:	Interpreting for Advance Care Planning (ACP) with a patient, their family and providers, calls for an unusual set of skills and knowledge that is a critical and useful addition to every interpreter’s professional toolbox. Advance Care Planning (ACP) is a necessary yet difficult task for physicians and patients in the event of chronic or terminal illness, especially for older adults nearing the end of life. ACP can help “alleviate unnecessary suffering, improve quality of life,” and provide a better idea to patients and caregivers of the challenges to come. The bewildering emotional, cultural and communication barriers that limited or non-English proficient patients and families face in end of life care planning, can be overcome with a well- prepared medical interpreter on the care team. Grounded in the strength of cultural humility, applicable case studies and terminology, attendees will leave this session well prepared to meet the interpreting needs of health systems in ACP for their chronically and terminally ill patients. The session is well paced, interactive and intent on skill building.

	Description:	The presentation will be an introduction of the Demand Control Schema theory and its benefits. The presentation will focus on explaining the theory and how it has favorably impacted ASL interpreters and now it’s incorporation in spoken language interpreting. The presentation will use direct structure, outline, examples, and practice activities from the Demand Control Schema book and those created by the presenter. It will highlight practices that can be added to an interpreter “toolbox” for application in day-to-day interpreting encounters to ensure the interpreter stays within the scope of his/her practice while serving LEP, Deaf, and Hard-of-Hearing patients. The presenter will highlight how this model can be used onsite, over the phone interpreting (OPI), and in vide remote interpreting (VRI) to the participants can use in any modality. The intent of the presentation is to bring light on a “new” theory and model to support interpreters within their day-to-day interactions with the LEP, deaf, and hard-of-hearing community.

	Description:	The core mandate of effective language access accommodation in the context of preventative care is strategic investment in essential services while ensuring the maximum possible benefit to the patient population(s) in question. Logistics is a foundational hurdle for interpreter services, especially with the historic mode of staff interpreter dispatching (i.e. pager-based systems) proving both time-intensive and limiting in terms of available information regarding active staff capacity and case status. Our interpreter services partnered with a web-based dispatching vendor to remodel an iPod/iPad-based solution to support multiple languages with a single client account providing site-based access to our providers. The number of requests at our hospitals have increased up to 60% at each individual hospital, although staffing adjustments have been minimal as our improved response times have largely, but not completely, enabled our interpreters to increase their productivity to meet demand while adhering to Section 1557 and other mandates.

	Description:	The profession of Medical Interpreters has evolved quite a bit over the years from a simple conduit to include many other roles and responsibilities. Interpreters not only assist doctors in administrative roles, but also in clinical areas that may sometimes include entering an operating room, a birthing room, radiology departments, and even areas where the patient is in isolation. This can be a very scary and even concerning situation for an interpreter who is not familiar with different protocols and can lead to exposure to different diseases. The properly prepared interpreter can prevent unnecessarily exposing themselves to harmful conditions as well as prevent spreading the same. Interpreter education focuses on the role of the interpreter: ethics, conduct, and standards. In addition to that, it is important for a medical interpreter to familiar with the culture of the healthcare field and stay current on the requirements of healthcare personnel and how to protect themselves. In the end, while not considered a healthcare professional, the interpreter is an invaluable part of the healthcare team and should take the same precautions to avoid harming themselves or others.

	Description:	Vicarious Trauma has both immediate and long term effects on our emotional and physical well-being. Building on the understanding that our body’s fight-flight-freeze response is activated in a split-second, mindfulness is part of a solid self-care practice. It is possible and, oftentimes, necessary to ground ourselves immediately, in order to contain emotion and continue providing service to our clients and their LEPs. Learning objectives will include: Trauma-based encounters that exist within the field of interpretation, Identification of personal triggers, scaling your level of personal reactivity to trauma-based encounters, Sensory shifting techniques to mitigate emotional dysregulation. The presenter will engage participants in an interactive exercise to develop a personalized, mindfulness practice that allows them to self-assess for emotional dysregulation in the moment. Thereafter, participants will identify sensory shifting techniques that they can utilize on the spot, to de-escalate themselves during times of high reactivity.

	Description:	Over the past decade, awareness about vicarious trauma among interpreters has increased. In that time, we have also become aware that regardless of the label we give it - vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, occupational stress, etc. - we need to do more to provide interpreters with resources for self-care, emotional support, and ethical decision-making skills. This paper will present the continuing development of the Interpreter Debrief Program that evolved from informal facilitated debrief sessions to an on-going program incorporating structured code of ethics refreshers, debrief sessions co-facilitated by specially-trained interpreters and social workers, and self-care resources. Started in 2013 as a Quality Initiative at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, the Interpreter Debrief Program is now delivered by Access Alliance Language Services and is open to interpreters from various agencies and interpreter associations. The presentation will include supporting research, program evaluation, the co-facilitator training model, and self-care toolkit resources.

	Description:	A recent study from the William Institute estimates that about 1.4 million transgender people live in the US. In light of recent federal legislation, cultural shifts, and an emerging population of transgender individuals in the media and public sphere, this community has become more visible. Thus, the prevalence of interpretation encounters with transgender patients is surfacing as a commonality. The transgender community faces a wide range of health disparities. Studies from the William Institute indicate that the rate of attempted suicide among transgender individuals is 41%. Access to quality healthcare is crucial in reducing these disparities. Regardless of opinion or politics, we as interpreters should be prepared to provide the highest level of care to all of our patients. This training was created with the goal of educating interpreters on best practices for working with transgender individuals in need of both basic and trans-specific healthcare.

	Description:	Due to the broader implementation of laws regarding language services in the healthcare setting, the need for interpreting and translation services is constantly expanding. However, there is still lack of knowledge on what those two disciplines entail and oftentimes professional interpreters and translators are put on the spot and asked to perform duties that fall outside their expertise and/or skills. Interpreting and translation, although related disciplines, require different skills which need to be acquired through specific training. An example of how sometimes language professionals are expected to perform out of their capability, is sight translation. As on-site healthcare interpreters many of us have been asked to “read out loud” a document written in English to a patient in their native language with the purpose of saving some time to the provider or staff who can complete other patient-related tasks in the meantime. Even though in some instances it may be a reasonable request, other times it involves a large and complex text that should have been translated in advance.

	Description:	With the publication of the IMIA first code of ethics for spoken language medical interpreter in 1987 (updated in 2006), and with the publication of the NCIHC code of ethics in 2004, medical interpreters were able for the first time to work within an agreed upon ethical framework and mutual ethical expectations among themselves. It is noteworthy that both codes of ethics were published more than a decade ago and were written at a time when the 40-hour basic training was not the norm, and national certification was considered a far-fetched dream. This presentation addresses the need to re-visit controversial topics such as "accepting gifts" and "advocacy", for example, and it will propose updated language. Please note that both codes of ethics were initially written by the best minds of the industry, and the presenter hope that his humble input will enrich the undergoing dialogue toward updating both codes of ethics.

	Description:	Establishing best practices in language support in healthcare is a crucial, and frequently contentious, endeavor in our industry. Exploring best practices for interpretation in new and emerging areas of healthcare adds another layer of complexity to the discussion. Medical Assistance in Dying has been legal for less than a year in Canada, and our legislators and policy makers are still working to establish guidelines, recommendations, and policies for this new option for Canadian patients. Among the considerations for this area of care is how to provide appropriate and effective communication support for individuals with limited English/French proficiency. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the history and current practice of M.A.I.D. in Canada, and explore the considerations that must be made as we - health service providers, interpreters, agencies, trainers - work toward establishing best practices regarding language support services for the various stakeholders involved.

This is an interactive, practical, hands-on workshop that will allow a participant to answer the following: What is vicarious trauma? Am I exhibiting signs of vicarious trauma? How does it manifest itself in my emotional and physical well-being? How do my own cultural and philosophical beliefs and background impact the way that I react to my experiences? What coping mechanisms do I use? How can I incorporate healthy coping mechanisms into my daily life, starting TODAY?

	Description:	Palliative care seeks to optimize the quality of life and relieve physical and emotional suffering through pain management, comfort care, and spiritual support. Since palliative care depends on regular, clear communication between patients, providers, and families, interpreters are key members of any palliative care team. For interpreters, conversations involving palliative care, especially those at the end of life, can be among the most difficult to convey — not only linguistically and culturally, but personally. This multimedia, interactive training includes videos, PowerPoint presentations, and practice of interpreting and sight translation. Bilingual medical glossaries and practice activities are provided in Cantonese/traditional Chinese, Mandarin/Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.

	Description:	Genetics is finding its way into many different areas of healthcare these days. While interpreters should optimally have training in how genetics is applied in all areas of medicine, this 4-hour training will focus specifically on cancer genetics. By going more deeply into just one area of genetic medicine, we hope to use the short time afforded by a workshop format to effectively improve interpreter understanding – and so interpreter practice – in this focused and previously unaddressed sphere. This course is designed for interpreters who have already received basic training. As such, it does not address basic interpreting skills, ethics or protocols, but rather focuses on helping working interpreters improve their understanding of the content and vocabulary they will encounter in prenatal genetics appointments.

	Description:	In recent years, more and more Mandarin interpreters are assisting Mandarin-speaking pregnant women in their medical care in the United States. However, it is not so easy for interpreters to be familiar with the medical terminology and the tests that are commonly done during a woman’s pregnancy. Also, there are huge cultural differences between the U.S. and China in the medical care practices a woman may experience before, during, and after pregnancy. These differences may lead the American healthcare providers and Mandarin-speaking new moms to have difficulty understanding each other even when the interpreter is accurate and complete in relaying information from one language to the other.

	Description:	The process to prepare a child for surgery may seem straightforward, but it involves a series of steps designed to eliminate possible complications during, immediately after the surgery and when the child goes home. An interpreter that knows the overall process and the complications that may arise if the message is not getting across is invaluable to the team of nurses and doctors that are trying to do their job in a timely fashion. The parents also benefit from a prepared interpreter that delivers a clear/accurate message, not only to understand the plan of anesthesia and surgery, but also to know how to care of the patient afterward. This presentation will give an overall idea of the surgery process from intake to discharge, explaining the most common pediatric surgeries, words and acronyms (like FLACC, DVT, H&P, T&A), and the best practices for accurate rendition and speed, as well as how to prioritize encounters when the interpreter has more than one case at a time. The focus will be for on-site interpreters at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, but it will be helpful for Video Remote Interpreters, and interpreters working in other pediatric-surgery-facilities as well.

	Description:	Interpreters are considered an integral part of the educational system, as they help to create strong cultural and linguistic bridges among parents, students and school personnel. Interpreters in the educational setting move beyond simply addressing language barriers, to helping English Learner families and school personnel build cultural bridges in order to increase student achievement and parental engagement. This presentation will provide a description of the distinct features of the field of interpretation in the educational settings, highlighting important differences in terms of the code of ethics, standards of practice and terminology, as compared to medical and legal interpretation. We will explore strategies for legal, community and medical interpreters to expand their vocabulary and skills to be effective interpreters in educational settings, specifically in the areas of special education, psychological assessments, parent-teacher conferences and disciplinary hearings. Through small group activities, attendees will acquire and apply information about code of ethics dilemmas, dual roles in the educational setting, glossary development techniques and additional vocabulary-building resources to help prepare the medical and legal interpreter for a school interpretation assignment.

	Description:	Why do providers ask certain questions and in a certain manner? What is the framework in which healthcare services are provided in the US? In the field of health care interpreting, the areas of knowledge that are most salient include the medical context (e.g., the basic parts and functioning of the body and common disease syndromes and their respective treatments) and the socio-cultural context of the patient populations for whom the interpreter interprets. The more background knowledge the interpreter has, the more likely it is that the meaning of the messages will be fully understood and therefore, the more likely it is that the conversion will be faithful to the original message. This three-part language-neutral series seeks to be an entry point to thinking about the unique qualities of interpreting in healthcare settings. We start focusing on a fundamental interaction between patients and the American healthcare system. Participants will be provided with understanding of basic human anatomy and physiology as they study human body parts, systems, diseases and treatment of disorders, using both formal and colloquial terminology. Participants will also be introduced to the field of pathology and treatment of common illness, including diabetes, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and sexually transmitted diseases.

Participants will learn about the causes of traumatic brain injury, the different types, and their symptoms. This session will also examine how these injuries can affect speech and cognition, and how this impacts the work of the interpreter. Participants will have the opportunity to work with authentic medical documents related to head trauma and practice interpreting content related to this topic. Part 2: One of the NCIHC’s Standards of Practice for interpreters in health care is respect. Interpreters strive to “acknowledge the inherent dignity of all parties in the interpreted encounter.” To show respect for transgender patients, interpreters should be aware of the barriers to care that they face, specific health issues in this patient population, as well as the appropriate language to use when working with or referring to transgender patients. We will examine what the term transgender means, the concept of a gender spectrum in different cultures, what transitioning may or may not consist of, and the physical and mental health issues unique to this patient population. We will also discuss the linguistic challenges that can arise when interpreting for transgender patients. Part 3: Interpreting in the mental health setting presents unique challenges to the interpreter. In this session, we will look at the challenges that mental health interpreting presents, as compared to other healthcare contexts. We will review the elements of the mental status exam and discuss what pitfalls the interpreter must not fall into and how to avoid them. Participants will have the opportunity to practice consecutive and simultaneous interpretation of mental health scenarios.

	Description:	While the interpreting profession has had indigenous language interpreters for many years, these individuals often have had few options for training and development to succeed in the profession. At times, the professionals who work in community and healthcare settings have unrealistic expectations for the indigenous interpreter making it more difficult for them to be successful. Two barriers that interpreters have to overcome are lack of equivalencies of westernized terms and concepts that are not found in their mother tongue and difficulties in working with other interpreters when called on to perform relay interpreting. Very often neither the indigenous interpreter nor the healthcare interpreter have had training on performing relay interpreting in consecutive or simultaneous. This presentation will aid in presenting and discussing possible new approaches and solutions to overcome these barriers.

In 2016, a survey was circulated among various stakeholder groups of the healthcare interpreted encounter in order to identify the major challenges our industry faces. The challenges were: Competency and Qualifications, Integrating Language Access into Healthcare and Fiscal Challenges. In October of the same year, interpreters, hospital administrators, healthcare staff, consumers of language access services, interpreter educators and case managers had the opportunity to hear from one or more representatives from each represented stakeholder group. This process allowed for the development of recommendations that would acknowledge and address the interests of all stakeholder groups of the interpreted healthcare encounter.

	Description:	Upon attending this presentation the learner will: 1, Identify the challenges associated with pulmonary function testing (PFT) and instruction in language other than English. Based on the test result, the language impacted the test length and patient satisfaction considerably. When the medical staff speaks the target language, the test result and time spending significantly improved. 2. Discuss potential barriers to proper performance of PFT associated with interpretation from English to Spanish. Due to the particular test instructions, there are many difficulties in PFT but the biggest issue can be the language barrier. The instruction for the test is very intense and it makes the patient hard to follow the instruction. When there is an interpreter, the medical staff and the interpreter should cooperate well to give the proper instruction and end the test in timely manner. Although it's hard to accomplish with an interpreter, without the interpreter, performing the test was not able to be done. 3. Critique the research presented with respect to pulmonary function errors and non-English speaking participants. The interpreters were able to discuss about how to improve the PFT test result in many different ways. Demonstrate the test with the speaker with the interpreter. Understand the error rates in the test and suggest some tools to enhance the errors.

	Description:	The internet offers a wealth of resources for interpreters who need to find the best way(s) to convert a particular word or message from one language to another. In addition to medical and general glossaries and dictionaries, there are search engines that are often optimized for different languages and regions of the world. Remote telephonic and video interpreters, who often work from a desk with an internet connection at hand, may be able to look up difficult phrases in "real time" while listening and interpreting. In-person interpreters will frequently remember a message that caused them some difficulty, and can take a few moments afterward to research how they might have interpreted it better. While many of us think that we know how to look something up on the web, there is always more to learn. This lesson will introduce several "tips and tricks" that can help you maximize the effectiveness of your internet research to help solve tricky interpreting problems.

	Description:	Part 1 of “Lifestyle Medicine” addresses Nutrition and Restorative Sleep for Interpreters. The role of a medical interpreter includes a variety of potentially stressful encounters. We cover the importance of “nutrient-dense food” to buffer stress and optimize digestion. We explain why nutrient-dense food differs from “empty calories” and demonstrate how breakfast sets the stage for our energy, mood, blood sugar, and circadian rhythm. Restorative sleep is also critical for interpreters to optimize wellness. We explore the role of cortisol and how “dysregulation” of this stress hormone contributes to insomnia. We define “sleep hygiene” and address creative ways to get on track for bedtime. This section covers vital nutrients for restorative sleep.

	Description:	Part two of “Lifestyle Medicine” focuses on Stress Reduction for Interpreters. It defines the role of inflammation and how this physiological state creates illness and dis-ease. We identify what “HPA Axis” means, and how our body’s stress response can be re-programmed for greater wellness through dietary and lifestyle changes. As medical interpreters, we encounter a variety of stressful situations that can impact our health. To reduce our risk factors, we emphasize spirituality and physical activity. We explore what it means to live with passion and purpose, cultivate gratitude, and mindfulness. Physical activity is defined through a variety of modalities, including dance, yoga and exercise. From an epigenetic framework, we see that our diet and lifestyle have a direct impact on our genes. We hold the power to create abundant health.

The goal of this training course is to provide experienced medical interpreters with knowledge and skills specific to managing stress in medical settings. The curriculum outlines a theoretical and practical understanding of the effects of stress. Additionally, the curriculum will enhance the medical interpreters’ skills in the area of stress management by engaging in guided mindful practices that can be used in the work place setting, and by exploring in group discussion a variety of ways to partner effectively with other health professionals to reduce stresses for all involved.

	Description:	From 2005-2010, Mental Health America of Middle Tennessee (MHAMT) provided mental health training for interpreters. We found that many interpreters did not understand the intricacies of mental health, despite their training in medical interpreting. For instance, the provider might ask, “Are you experiencing any depression?” The interpreter would communicate, “Are you having a bad day?” or “Are you contemplating suicide?” MHAMT found that training interpreters in mental health greatly aided in their communication skills. Similarly between 2005-2010, MHAMT trained Tennessee providers on how to better work with interpreters. Many providers tended to address the interpreter instead of the patient or client, which is the primary relationship. Many providers did not understand the mode of interpreting that was needed, how to prepare the interpreter for what might be encountered prior to entering the room, or how to best bridge the cultural and linguistic gap between the provider and patient/ client.

Contributing factors may range from the incorrect transference and misuse of the phenomenon of linguistic economy into the language of service, insufficient background knowledge of the subject matter, nervousness, or other variables, which result in the interpreter using lexical, grammatical and semantic compensations as part of a strategy to solve the communicative situational problem.The presence of Anglicisms, a compensatory mechanism due to linguistic limitations during the interpreting session, may affect the essential characteristics of the medical language: accuracy, transparency and univocal meaning.

	Description:	Few clinicians actually discuss and document their patients' important goals and values. Several studies describe physician reluctance to address Advance Care Planning (ACP) as a major barrier to introducing ACP in the clinical setting, suggesting that interventions that support physicians in addressing this topic with patients may be of particular importance. Clinicians need training on how to conduct these discussions and to effectively deal with patient and family emotional responses to these difficult conversations. The goal of the Serious Illness Care Program (SICP) training workshops is to provide MGH's clinicians with an evidence-based structure for eliciting and documenting vital information about preferences for patient driven care of their serious illness. When dealing with English speaking patients and their families, these are challenging issues to address; adding in a linguistic and cultural component can introduce further barriers. This workshop will address how MGH physicians are using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide (SICG) and how interpreters can best understand the nature and purpose of the guide as well as the goals of the program while conducting these types of encounters. Particular elements of vocabulary and concepts will be presented to the interpreters and discussed as they impact various cultural backgrounds.

	Description:	Medical interpreters are vitally important members of the interdisciplinary team for patients who are non-English speaking. This is especially true for non-English speaking patients with brain tumors. Such patients may undergo specialized brain surgery that requires that they stay awake during the surgical procedure so that intra-operative assessment can take place. This type of surgery -- an awake craniotomy -- is designed to preserve language and/or motor function while removing as much tumor as possible. The medical interpreter�s expertise is required in these cases to optimize communication in the OR so that patients can follow directions and ask questions. In some case, even when the patient is fully comfortable communicating in English, the medical interpreter is still required if the patient has additional proficiencies in another language that requires maximal preservation. This presentation will give a brief overview of the awake craniotomy procedure and discuss issues relevant to medical interpreters participating in the procedures, including intra-operative assessment tasks and collaboration with other providers such as neurosurgery, intra-operative neuro-monitoring, and SLP. We will also discuss the role of the medical interpreter both in the OR itself and in peri-operative settings before and after the procedure and identify ways that the medical interpreter can ensure smooth and efficient communication to support the patient and team before, during, and after the procedure.

Organ transplantation is one of the great advances in modern medicine and it allows individuals to live a healthier life. For some, getting a transplant can make the difference between life or death. Delve into the realm of transplants as we discuss many organs which can be donated, such as the lungs, pancreas, liver, kidney, and heart. We will also discuss compatibility, types of transplant, procedures and the recovery. Last but not least, we will share terminology that will be useful when at interpreting assignments so that you can offer the best interpretation to the patients and their families.

	Description:	Organ and tissue donation provides hope for thousands of people with organ failure or tissue diseases and injuries. Improved surgical techniques and new anti-rejection drugs permit the successful transplantation of organs and tissues. In addition to the benefits that the transplant recipient receives, the donor family is presented with opportunities that may help them cope with the loss of someone special. One of the benefits for families whose loved one is able to donate organs and tissues includes knowing that their loved one's gift has provided an extension or improvement of the quality of life for another person. One organ donor can potentially help up to eight people. Recipients often return to healthy, active lifestyles after organ transplantation. For instance, kidney recipients live free of dialysis; pancreas recipients are cured of diabetes; heart, lung and liver recipients are able to return to work ; and small intestine recipients are cured of digestive disorders. This presentation will provide an overview of the organ procurement process, types of organ donation, types of providers, cultural examples and vocabulary. Guest speaker is Ms. Alma Rodriguez, an experienced community outreach coordinator for the Nevada Donor Network.

	Description:	For interpreters, conversations involving palliative care, especially those at end of life, can be among the most difficult to convey - not only linguistically and culturally, but personally. This seven-hour workshop is designed for preparing experienced medical interpreters in palliative care settings. The major messages participants will take away: Palliative care is a distinct and rapidly expanding area of medicine with which all interpreters should be familiar. Palliative care conversations present unique challenges for interpreters that require specific knowledge and skills to overcome. Through study and reflective practice, interpreters can expand their knowledge and improve both their interpreting skills and comfort level related to interpreting in palliative care settings. Course Outline: -Introductions, pre-test Lesson #1: Introduction to Palliative Care At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Choose the correct definition of palliative care from among four choices. 2. Identify one common reason why a provider might request a palliative care consultation 3.

Lesson #2: Interpreting Skills Applied to Palliative Care At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Provide three examples of situations in which it would be appropriate to ask for, or suggestion, clarification in communication between the patient/family and provider. 2. Discuss options to address interpreting challenges and select the option that best represents appropriate interpreting techniques 3. Describe three cultural considerations common in palliative care conversations between providers and patients from cultural groups for whom the participants is likely to interpret; propose at least two possible actions that the interpreter could take if these cultural issues seem likely to create a misunderstanding. Lesson #3: The Vocabulary of Palliative Care At the conclusion of this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Match 20 key palliative care terms in English to the correct definition. 2. Convert 20 key palliative care terms used in context from English to an appropriate equivalent in a non-English language. Activity: Practice Interpreting Students will practice interpreting consecutively and simultaneously, using the techniques and vocabulary learned in the previous lessons.

	Description:	Patient and family education begins the moment communication is initiated; from identifying if there is a language barrier, to registration coordinators providing instruction for checking in, to patient care technicians explaining what they are doing when taking blood or doing vital signs, to licensed caregivers providing information on a treatment plan. Each of these interactions provides anticipatory guidance for the patient and family, allowing their fears and concerns to be addressed before escalated. Because education starts with the first interaction it is important to address learning needs early on. This early assessment allows information to be presented in a way that will best meet the patient and family’s unique situation. Research shows that there are specific ways to ensure understanding of new knowledge and skills, and those teaching methods are easy to implement in theory. However, a learning needs assessment helps address the unique personal essentials of the patient and family, and also takes into consideration how to best present information as a team of medical professionals. Patients and families whose first language is not English have additional layers to educating that should be addressed through the early completion of a learning needs assessment. Whether there is a language barrier or not, health literacy can greatly affect comprehension of even the smallest bit of information from a medical professional. http://www.who.int/healthpromotion/conferences/7gchp/track2/en/ https://www.cdc.gov/healthliteracy/learn/UnderstandingLiteracy.html

	Description:	Postpartum depression is a serious disorder that affects many women globally. Studies have shown that cultural factors play a significant role in postpartum depression; they may trigger postpartum depression as well as contribute to the alleviation of its symptoms. One of the biggest challenges interpreters face is that they need to be well versed of other cultures. Interpreters rely not only on their language proficiency but also on their awareness of the different cultures, the cultural meaning of the words spoken, and how the language is communicated in a particular culture. During this training we will learn about the triggers, the cultural beliefs and factors, the identifiers and the treatment.

	Description:	Did you know that mental health providers analyze patient language to reach a diagnosis? For example, disorganized speech may be an indicator of psychosis. If an interpreter cleans up disorganized speech, they are editing out crucial data that is needed to reach an accurate diagnosis. On December 4th, we will discuss why interpreters cannot simply relay what a mental health patient says. To provide a truly accurate interpretation, professionals must also relay how it is said. In one hour, deepen your understanding of how mental health providers extract data from their patient’s speech, and how you can be a more effective interpreter. Let's go beyond words. Learning objectives: · Examine how data extracted from patient language is used as a tool to reach a mental health diagnosis · Explore various mental illnesses and the language patterns that characterize them · Delineate how mental health providers and interpreters can collaborate to achieve clear communication with an LEP patient

	Description:	Medicine has a language of its own. Medical language, like the language of people, possesses a historical development. Current medical vocabulary includes terms used by Hippocrates and Aristotle 2000 years ago, like femur (Latin) and hemorrhage (Greek); eponyms, i.e. words based on the personal names of people, like Parkinson’s disease; and terms from modern language, like laser (acronym for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”). Communication with the patient and family members is essential to properly triage, assess, and diagnose medical conditions. A clear contextual understanding of the patient’s cultural medical expressions by national origin will complement the medical language. This three-part series will cover both the language of medicine at the provider’s level and the colloquial level.

	Description:	A recent study from the William Institute estimates that about 1.4 million transgender people live in the United States. In light of recent federal legislation, cultural shifts, and an emerging population of transgender individuals in the public and media spheres, this community has become more visible as a whole. As a result, the prevalence of interpretation encounters with transgender patients is surfacing as a commonality. The transgender community faces a wide range of health disparities. Access to quality healthcare, and in our patients’ cases, access to competent interpretation services is crucial in reducing these disparities. Regardless of personal opinion or politics, we as interpreters should be prepared to provide the highest level of care to all of our patients. This training was created with the goal of educating interpreters on best practices for working with transgender individuals in need of both basic and trans-specific healthcare.

	Description:	The profession of interpreting has evolved quickly in recent years. What used to simply involve having a bilingual person available in person to facilitate communication has turned into to the inclusion of interpreters via phone and video, in addition to on-site. While there is plenty of research that discusses the benefit of remote interpreters, there is little that looks at these modalities from the interpreter’s perspective. Many of the pitfalls that in-person interpreters are warned about can be worse for those that work remotely. This presentation strives to review the differences in the modalities and how each one may affect the interpreter differently.

	Description:	All professionals working in the healthcare field assume a certain degree of risk to their own safety. Interpreters are no exception. Many interpreters, however, have little training on how to identify and respond appropriately to environmental risks. Interpreters must also be prepared to respond in an effective and ethical manner when they are the target of inappropriate behaviors demonstrated by participants in the encounter. Additionally, many interpreters live in the same community where they work, creating a unique potential for risk to the interpreter’s safety outside of the professional setting. This class equips healthcare interpreters with practical strategies to recognize and respond to risk factors that are inherent in the healthcare field. Strategies are applicable for all healthcare interpreters - freelance, agency, or staff interpreters. This class is designed for interpreters working on-site in healthcare facilities.

	Description:	What is one of the principal reasons interpreters leave the profession? Burn out. How can we as interpreters meet the difficult demands our career requires? Are there any techniques or tools that can equip us to withstand the daily toil? Can we thrive? There is research available to gives us sound proof and evidence that we can have an optimistic outlook. Experts in self-care emphasize the benefits of mindfulness and understanding the demand and control schema. In this presentation, we will briefly discuss an overview of how three simple strategies can help us meet the challenge of self care. These are – breathing, debriefing, and journaling. This will be an interactive discussion where participants will learn the basic principles of each technique and will have the opportunity to practice them. First, we will point out the general categories of the challenges that we face. How do these challenges affect us? It will be eye-opening to many to see that though there is a vast array of challenges, the effects are the same. Next, we will highlight the disaster of not implementing self care strategies. Though we all are victims of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, few of us have a daily regimen of combating and dealing with its symptoms. This will lead us into the nuts and bolts of the presentation: learning the three techniques, their benefits, and how to practice them.

	Description:	Sight translation is a sophisticated skill that practicing interpreters need to continue to sharpen in order to acquire abilities that enhance their overall interpreting performance. The combination of translating and interpreting at the same time gives you the opportunity to improve your concentration, reading comprehension, reformulation, and speech delivery. All these skills can be easily transferred to other interpreting modalities. In this course, you will have the opportunity to practice with many documents used in different healthcare settings, which contain common abbreviations, medical jargon, challenging grammatical structures, and some legal terms. You’ll also find lots of tips, techniques, and sample renditions for each exercise.

	Description:	This workshop, offered only to employees of Yale New Haven Hospital’s medical interpreters working in the Language Service department, will be language neutral, so that interpreters specializing in various languages can participate. The session begins with a presentation and discussion focused on the cognitive complexities of different types of interpretation tasks, and the Code of Ethics, which requires the ability to switch between different modes of interpretation when needed. Next, participants will engage in active practice using their own target languages to address some of the linguistic challenges of simultaneous interpretation, like the frequency of the passive voice in English, and maintaining the meaning and spirit of idiomatic expressions. A short presentation of tips and tricks of overcoming other challenges of simultaneous interpretation leads to more “hands-on” practice. First, participants carry out a “dual-task” activity, in which they have to listen to a short speech while writing out a series of numbers, and next, they “shadow” a more extensive video speech, repeating the speaker’s text in English. The session ends with a group re-cap and assessment to confirm understanding of the concepts covered.

	Description:	Without a doubt, one of the most feared interpreting modalities for many interpreters is the simultaneous mode. Juggling two languages at the same time may be intimidating and frustrating for those lacking adequate training, practice, and experience. Contrary to what we’ve been told, interpreters are often required to implement whispered-simultaneous interpreting during different medical encounters, such as family meetings, patient education sessions, group therapies, and side conversations. Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned pro, the challenging exercises presented in this course will help develop techniques and strategies to deliver smoother and more intelligible interpretations. You will also expand your vocabulary with regard to colloquial terms, medical jargon, and the day-to- expressions used in the healthcare field.

	Description:	This workshop is composed of five learning modules aimed at preparing medical interpreters to work in educational settings including early intervention and K-12. Medical interpreters have the ethical obligation to prepare and understand the basic vocabulary used in educational settings, particularly in special education, as inaccurate interpretation may invalidate standard scores to qualify a child for special education, negatively affect parental engagement efforts and contribute to the anxiety that families of children with special needs already feel when they come in to a school setting. Each module will offer participants sight translation and consecutive interpretation examples that include the vocabulary covered in the learning session. Upon completion of each module, participants will receive a glossary of terms pertinent to the topic presented, as well as additional resources for professional development. Participants will be assessed through a pre and post test and a quiz at the end of each module. The skill-building learning modules are as follows: Learning Module #1- Skill-Building Series for Medical Interpreters: Preparing for Psychoeducational and Speech Pathology Interpretation Assignments in the Educational Setting – Saturday, August 10, 2019 (2-4 pm EST) Learning Module #2- Skill-Building Series for Medical Interpreters: Vocabulary to prepare for IFSP, IEP, 504 and Special Education Eligibility Meetings - Saturday, September 7, 2019 (2-4 pm EST) Learning Module #3- Skill-Building Series for Medical Interpreters: Basic Statistics and Scoring Terminology Used in Special Education Assessments - Saturday, October 12, 2019 (2-4 pm EST) Learning Module #4- Skill-Building Series for Medical Interpreters: Lesser Known Disorders and Disabilities in Special Education - Saturday, November 9, 2019 (2-4 pm EST) Learning Module #5- Skill-Building Series for Medical Interpreters: Interpreting for Families of Children with Speech and Language Impairments - Saturday, December 7, 2019 (2-4 pm EST)

	Description:	Interpreters are aware of the importance of accepting assignments that align with their professional skills and training. For healthcare interpreters, this is usually accomplished by accepting assignments that take place at healthcare facilities. However, the boundaries of professional practice can be put to the test when the patient is in the custody of law enforcement or corrections officers. This class is designed on the premise that healthcare interpreters do not interpret for law enforcement officers who are present at the healthcare facility. In this class, healthcare interpreters gain practical strategies to maintain ethical role boundaries that promote open dialog between patients and medical team while maintaining a positive rapport with all professionals involved.

	Presenter:	DAVID GREENKY
	Description:	Previous studies in pediatric emergency medicine (PEM), including one at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) in 2004, have shown that patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) had longer length of stays (LOS), higher return-visit rates and differences in hospital disposition, implying disparities in care. In 2010, the Joint Commission released patient-centered communication standards to address these care gaps. CHOA is one of the largest PEM service lines in the US and sees thousands of LEP patients each year. CHOA follows these guidelines, and utilizes in-person, phone, and video interpreters for LEP families. In this study, we evaluated the current care of LEP patients at CHOA through ED metrics. Differences in care between LEP and English-speaking patients evaluated by patient metrics had low ES in our study, indicating little clinical significance. The factors leading to this improvement from previous studies, including the role of the 2010 Joint Commission standards should be identified, and the impact of these improvements on LEP patient outcomes should be further studied.

	Description:	Accuracy in interpretation is one of the key measures of a professional interpreter. But what does accuracy entail? How should we handle figurative language like idioms? What about double negatives, false starts, and expletives? How do we deal with messages that can only be understood in certain cultural contexts? What can we do when we suspect a consumer is not understanding? To what degree can we let nonverbal cues influence our interpretation? How can we gracefully correct substantive errors, both our own and those of a colleague we might be working with? Through an understanding of the ethical standard of accuracy for interpreters, and a close-up look at the components and role of language, individual messages, and the process of interpreting, this workshop will answer the questions above and more. You’ll learn specific strategies and tools for handling difficult scenarios, and be introduced to a winning exercise that will dramatically enhance your overall accuracy in interpretation.

	Description:	Conveying a message from one language to another is only one of the steps to producing written materials in different languages. A finished translation should also look like the original document in terms of formatting. That means the fonts, margins, pictures, lists, etc. should look like the ones in the source document. There’s a lot a translator can do to reproduce the appearance of a file. This presentation will show how to use some of the functions of Microsoft Word to save time and limit frustration when giving shape to translation files or when recreating source files. Practice documents* will be shared, and participants are encouraged to bring their laptops with a current version of Word installed. Some of the exercises will include: • Comparing files to help you plan and save time. • Tips to make your text fit in a tight space. • Using tables to recreate fields. • More time-savers: templates and quick parts. • Keep your text and images where you want them. • The revision process: beyond “spelling and grammar”. • Working with proofreaders and desktop publishers. *Practice files will be in English.

	Description:	Language professionals working in healthcare, in court, in jail, with refugees, with child protective services, with victims of abuse, in war zones, or interpreting during an intense encounter most likely experienced high levels of stress, suffered vicarious trauma, or felt vulnerable during the course of their everyday work. Vicarious trauma has been identified as something that affects the performance and wellbeing of interpreters by their experiencing or internalizing someone else’s trauma. Research has confirmed that interpreters are vulnerable to vicarious trauma, burnouts, compassion fatigue, or secondary stress as a result of repeatedly interpreting various traumatic information and experiences. Not only do interpreters witness the trauma, but channeling the trauma can also affect their perceptions of the world around them and result in anxiety, depression, and other serious mental health issues. First formally brought into the light during the 2001 International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), interpretation was subsequently placed in the category of high-stress professions, with consequences ranging from burnout to vicarious trauma, leading to significant performance impediments. The study that triggered this awareness investigated four sets of parameters: psychological, physiological, physical, and performance, as well as the interactions between them. Drawing from over 25 years of experience in a professional services industry, Ludmila “Mila” Golovine, Founder, President & CEO of MasterWord, a Language Services Provider agency, and an interpreter herself, will speak on the subject of vicarious traumatization not from a scientific but from an insider’s point of view - as a representative of a profession that is vulnerable to this type of trauma. Participants will be provided with real-life applications and tools that can help identify and examine triggers leading to vicarious trauma impacting the wellbeing and performance of service professionals, as well as learn practical steps to prevent and/or mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma before, during and after of the patient (client) – provider interactions.

	Description:	Medical interpreters are faced with a variety of challenging demands every single day. Exposure to a variety of scenarios can cause “emotional residue” in which the interpreter actually experiences some of the same feelings, emotions, and physical symptoms experienced by our patients and staff. After interpreting for a sensitive case, how does one “get it together” effectively before moving on to the next assignment, with the expectation of providing high quality service? An accumulation of these emotions can eventually lead to post-traumatic stress and create a variety of emotional and physical symptoms. Applying proper techniques can help reduce this emotional residue and allow one to perform and optimal levels. Learn in this interactive discussion that it’s okay to talk about your work, and that it is absolutely critical as our customers depend on it.

	Description:	When we speak for others who are suffering, when we are present to the worst aspects of human nature, how are we changed? Interpreting can carry significant costs for the interpreter, and our ability to do our work with integrity and impartiality depends on the care with which we attend to our own mental and physical health. Long known to social service providers and veterinarians as a significant cause of personal and professional impairment, vicarious trauma is the experience of the symptoms of trauma by those who witness trauma or assist victims. In this conversation and meditation, we will discuss the risks of our work and provide simple practices to ensure that we remain healthy, competent, engaged professionals.

	Description:	How does VRI work in general, and specifically and what are the principal challenges and complications of working with interpreters that are remote, what the benefits are of working in this way. For example, in small towns, it may be ideal to have remote interpreters, as the local interpreters may know the patient and family. There are technical issues that do occur, and we will discuss how they can be resolved. For example, not being to hear or see well over the video screen, or if patient�s are hard of hearing or confused. The interpreter and the provider alike require training on how to use the VRI system, technical things like the mute button, as well as the use of 1st and 3rd person interpretation. The training of interpreters and providers for VRI use will be addressed as well within this session.

	Description:	Messages are conveyed not only through the spoken words, but also through the tone and expression used by the speaker. As such, interpreters must be skilled at identifying the tone of the spoken message and also at delivering the interpretation in a way that uses tone and expression to convey the full meaning of the speaker's message. At times this can be fun and dynamic for the interpreters; other times it can be awkward and uncomfortable. In this class, interpreters learn to identify the impact of tone on the interpreted message, develop strategies to replicate the speaker's tone when interpreting, and assess when alternatives to tone-matching are most appropriate given the circumstances of the encounter.

	Description:	Occasionally, we encounter patients who have been victims of abuse, and human trafficking. It is hard to identify these victims due to the fear of the victim speaking out to look for help. Along with this difficulty that all healthcare providers face, as interpreters, it may also be difficult to apply roles such as advocacy, transparency or cultural competence when something “just doesn’t seem right”. Our role as interpreters is essential and being adept at maintaining boundaries, avoiding a judgmental perception, building trust and applying our role of advocacy appropriately are essential in these situations. We also face the possibility of vicarious trauma therefore having self-awareness of our comfort level with the topic is as essential as knowing when and how to withdraw from the session successfully.

	Description:	We guide you through self-assessment exercises that assist you in pinpointing your under-developed interpretation skills and in elaborating your own P3 (Professional Progress Path). • We cap enrollment at 15 to coach you in advancing toward attainable progress mile posts and tracking your development. • We immerse you in high-energy activities that will increase and polish your interpretation skills. • Due to the vibrant dynamics of our daily training sessions, we recognize that you will need to unwind and recharge. Retreat from the training room, and the world, to a hotel that caters to your recreational and relaxation needs so that you can return to the training room and the world of work refreshed and revitalized. Certified medical interpreters acquire DNA specific terminology in English and Spanish and apply it to the three modes of interpretation: Simultaneous, consecutive, and sight translation. Interpreters apply the Code of Ethics for Medical Interpreters to an array of real-life ethical challenges, comparing and contrasting to the court interpreter code of ethics. Interpreters learn the physiology of interpretation and apply physical exercises to warm up and cool down in order to improve their performance, better deal with stress, and protect their health.

	Description:	The purpose of this course is to expose the participants to the difficulties of communicational processes with individuals who have mental illness who can present significant challenges to the interpreter. Individuals with mental illness may exhibit symptoms such as using phonetically or grammatically unstructured speech and experiencing hallucinations and delusion being disorganized in their thought and their communicational processes. Because interpreters serve as active participants in the court environment with various responsibilities, questions arise regarding the factors that contribute to their decision-making while interpreting in this setting. This class takes a look at such obstacles and analyze potential interventions from different perspectives that may be applied to the resolution of conflicts arising from the interpreting work.

	Description:	This series of 7 independent workshops is designed for working medical interpreters at Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital, to maintain and develop service excellence among our practicing medical interpreters, by guaranteeing a high level of communication between providers and patients in our Pediatric Specialties clinics. To this end, our interpreters need not only excellent language skills, but must also have a good understanding of the medical conditions and concepts involved in patient care in the various specialties, and must be aware of the challenges that providers face when working with non English-speaking patients. Each workshop will be presented by one of our highly qualified medical professionals (specialist doctors, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners) from the relevant specialty area. The 7 specialties covered are the following: Cardiology Diabetes Endocrinology Fetal Care Genetics (Cancer Genetics) Nephrology Neurosurgery Each session will include a teaching presentation that offers a working description of some of the rare, complex, or important conditions commonly seen in that specialty. The discussion will include related pathologies, symptoms, diagnostic tools, treatments (including lifestyle modifications), and patient education. In addition, the medical providers will also share some of the challenges they face when working through interpreters, and may offer ways to minimize potential problems. A question-and-answer period will be included as part of each presentation, providing the opportunity for interpreters to seek clarification on the materials learned, and to give the provider feedback based on interpreters’ experiences working in the clinic. Lastly, participants will work on activities designed to provide practice with specific medical terminology for the relevant specialization. The terminology will be developed expressly for each session by the medical professionals and our own interpreting staff collaboratively.
