    Interpreting Pediatric Vaccines – Past and Present

    Unpacking the Evolution of Vaccination in Children: A Historical and Modern Perspective
    Presented by Sara Greenlee, MA CT

    This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted into on-demand.


    What is it about?

    Vaccines are the newest hot topic across the world.
    If you have worked in pediatric medicine though, you are already very familiar with them. But do we really know everything we’d like to about pediatric vaccines and the diseases that they prevent? If you’re curious about the science behind different types of vaccines or the systemic damage one tiny pathogen can cause, then this is the workshop for you. We will dive deep into the diseases targeted by the CDC’s pediatric vaccination schedule and the vaccines that are making them history.

    Learning Objectives: 

    • Understand the vaccine schedule recommended by the CDC for pediatric patients
    • Understand the different types of vaccines currently recommended for children in the US and the science behind their development
    • Learn about disease pathology of vaccine-preventable pediatric illnesses
    • Practice targeted skills necessary for interpreting the vaccine schedule and vaccine information
    • Become familiar with diseases discussed in well child and vaccine appointments

    NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

    Interpreting for infant & pregnancy loss

    Presented by Marisa Rueda 

    This is a recorded workshop formatted into an on-demand workshop. 


    What is it about?
    Pregnancy is often associated with new life. However, not all pregnancies result in the birth of a healthy child. Obstetric care accounts for a large volume of medical encounters requiring an interpreter. While routine obstetric visits may be predictable and short, medical interpreters need to be prepared to interpret for LEP patients who experience pregnancy complications and loss.

    During this session, you will learn about common causes, terminology, and standard care for infant and pregnancy loss. Additionally, you will hear stories about women who have first-hand experiences with this tragic loss of life. Their stories will provide insight on the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of experiencing this type of loss.

    Coming away from this session you will not only be more intellectually prepared, but also better equipped mentally and emotionally to interpret for patients in these encounters. You will also learn why professional interpreting services can significantly improve outcomes for LEP patients and family members in such situations.  

    Learning Objectives

    1. Identify common causes of pregnancy loss and treatment in the early, middle, and late stages of pregnancy.
    2. Learn about standard care for patients who experience pregnancy loss during the first, second, and third trimesters.
    3. Recognize the emotional, psychological, and physical challenges specific to pregnancy and infant loss.
    4. Understand the role of good communication in reducing the risk of emotional and psychological pathologies after pregnancy loss.
    5. Reflect on and/or discuss how interpreting for these losses affects medical interpreters.

    NOTIS’ Translation Division presents

    The Sweet Spot Called Productivity

    Presented by Tiina Kinnunen

    Free for NOTIS members! Watch the recording and earn one ATA credit.


    What is it about?

    We're often encouraged to go outside our comfort zone, but the truth is productivity lives in our comfort zone - the jobs, clients, and rates that make us happy. How can we find the most productive jobs and lucrative clients while also rethinking our approach to rates and earnings logic?

    All of us want to increase our productivity, but do you know where your productivity comes from? Who are your best clients – not just the best rates, but overall best clients? What are the assignments that make you the most money per hour? Is the flat hourly rate the best solution for everyone?

    We’ll look into new ways of looking at old things, re-evaluating our rates and earnings logic as well as ranking clients in order to find out where our own sweet spot of productivity lies.

    NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

    Interpreting for Survivors of Domestic Violence 

    Presented by Yuliya Speroff

    What is it about? Every year, more than 10 million men and women in the U.S. experience domestic violence. Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of class, gender, race, age, disability, religion or educational background. Medical interpreters may find themselves interpreting for survivors of domestic violence in a wide variety of settings - from an emergency room to a counseling session. Interpreting in such encounters can present unique challenges to interpreters in terms of terminology, the importance of upholding the ethical principles, and vicarious trauma.

    After attending this class, the participants will be able to:
    - Define domestic violence and related concepts
    - Give examples of domestic abuse
    - Explain how domestic violence affects immigrant victims
    - Discuss challenges related to interpreting for survivors of domestic violence and strategies for overcoming them
    - Practice with converting key terminology into their working language(s)

      SUBTITLING 101 - THE ART AND SCIENCE OF GOOD SUBTITLES


      What is it about?

      With streaming services and demands for accessibility, subtitles are fast gaining a foothold in the non-traditional subtitling countries. But what goes into making good subtitles? Is it just what pleases the eye of the subtitler, or is there a rhyme and a reason for doing things a certain way?

      In this 2.5-hour seminar, we will look into the science that has shaped the best practices of subtitling, learn how to build balanced, reader-friendly subtitles and get a glimpse of how a subtitling software works.

        Impartiality while interpreting healthcare within the LGBTQ+ Community

        Breaking Down Barriers: The Importance of Impartiality in Healthcare for the LGBTQ+ Community

        Presented by Christopher Cardona

        What is it about? 

        Healthcare interpreters invest a significant amount of time in learning medical terminology and the ins and outs of the US healthcare system - and rightly so. However, interpreting encounters in healthcare settings are not all dense medical jargon - they involve real people speaking real language, which may include small talk, stories, jokes, idioms, and cultural references. Representation, terminology, and cultural references are unique within the LGBTQ+ Community, which must be accurately and neutrally facilitated by the healthcare interpreter. Not only does the interpreter need to get the right facts, but the right jargon, which is culturally appropriate and respectful, without bias from the interpreter.

        This 2-hour class will equip participants with strategies for implementing modern, culturally appropriate, and respectful terminology, as well as strategies for recognizing bias through lecture, examples, and group participation activities. A time for questions & answers will be provided within a safe space for learning in a non-judgmental environment.

        At the end of this presentation, participants will:

        • Produce accurate, modern, and culturally appropriate terminology related to the LGBTQ+ Community
        • Discuss ways in which to recognize and avoid bias
        • Provide examples for future learning

        LGBTQ+ (+ stands for IA=intersex and asexual/aromantic/agender) "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one's sexual or gender identity), intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender"

            About the Event

            Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum and The Northwest Translators and Interpreters Society (NOTIS) invite you to join us for an in-person book discussion of Translating Myself & Others by Jhumpa Lahiri, led by Folio librarian Lillian Dabeny. 

            Translating Myself and Others is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages.

            With subtlety and emotional immediacy, Lahiri draws on Ovid's myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore the distinction between writing and translating, and provides a close reading of passages from Aristotle's Poetics to talk more broadly about writing, desire, and freedom. She traces the theme of translation in Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks and takes up the question of Italo Calvino's popularity as a translated author. Lahiri considers the unique challenge of translating her own work from Italian to English, the question "Why Italian?," and the singular pleasures of translating contemporary and ancient writers.

            NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

            WEBSHOP: Mindful Wellness for Translators and Interpreters 

            Presented by Svetlana Ruth

            What is it about? Emotional exhaustion, compassion fatigue, stress, vicarious trauma alter our abilities and livelihood. Both translators and interpreters experience challenges in their professional encounters. In this interactive presentation we will discuss "the good, the bad, and the ugly”, as well as self care techniques and opportunities for immediate support and long term options.

            The 2-hour interactive workshop will begin with a review of what vicarious trauma is and how it affects our ability to perform professional duties. A guided discussion will take place of what factors influence our well being and how we respond to stress. Participants will identify strategies for self-protection from occupational hazards and create an action plan. Participants will then learn several techniques on preventing trauma, dealing with trauma during an encounter, and recovering from trauma after the encounter. Discussion and practice will be offered in small groups after a 5-minute break. Participants will adopt the strategies and techniques that are beneficial to them and incorporate those into their personal care plan.

            Learning Objectives

            By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

            •   Identify stressors in their professional field

               Apply effective strategies to prevent burn out

            •   Implement appropriate techniques to recover from trauma and stress.

              NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

              sorry, Not Sorry! How Interpreters Can Mediate with Confidence and Skill

              Presented by Marisa RuedaWill, CHI


              Course Description
              Medical interpreters are required to interpret everything that is said during a medical encounter. To accomplish this, interpreters need to manage the flow of conversation efficiently. They also need to discern when it is appropriate to mediate and when to stay in their interpreting role. Ideally, healthcare interpreters should mediate only when necessary and do so briefly. However, mediation is not an easy skill to master.

              Over time, professional medical interpreters with an advanced skill set can perform a strategic mediation confidently and skillfully. They follow criteria that helps them know if a strategic mediation is necessary. When they do need to mediate, they keep the mediation brief and resume interpreting immediately. Performing a strategic mediation efficiently preserves the communicative autonomy of each party in the session.

              Developing advanced strategic mediation skills will improve the quality of your interpretation. You will be able to mediate without interrupting the speaker’s train of thought and without drawing attention to yourself. You will be able to ask for what you need to do your job succinctly, without apologizing for it. Strategic mediation is a skill you can use during every encounter. Enhancing this skillset will make a significant difference in each interpreting assignment.

              Learning Objectives
              1.     Define mediation, strategic mediation, cultural mediation, and advocacy.
              2.     Identify the five steps for performing a strategic mediation.
              3.     Learn the four criteria for strategic mediation.
              4.     Recognize techniques to improve strategic mediation skills based on the four criteria for strategic mediation.
              5.     Reflect on and/or discuss your experience performing a strategic or cultural mediation during an interpreting encounter.
              6.     Acknowledge how effective strategic mediation can enhance your ability to manage the flow of conversation and make you a better interpreter.

              When? Saturday, August 19th, 2023, 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PST. Check-in at 7:50 a.m. PLEASE CHECK IN AT 7:50 a.m. to sign in. Class from 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. PST.

              • Definition of diabetes and related physiology 
              • Common types of diabetes 
              • How diabetes is diagnosed 
              • Common approaches to treating diabetes 
              • Complications of diabetes 
              • Challenges for interpreters 
              • Terminology and interpreting skills practice

                INTERPRETING FOR PRENATAL GENETICS - ONLINE - FALL 2022

                CONTENT

                As one of the fastest changing fields in medicine, genetics is a topic that is coming up more often in more healthcare settings. Highly technical vocabulary and complex medical concepts can present real challenges to interpreters who are not familiar with the concepts and vocabulary related to genetics. This 8-hour workshop will prepare you to work in the fast-changing field of prenatal genetics, using a hybrid learning design that allows you to learn together with a group as well as through independent work on the Virtual Arcos learning platform. 

                Trainer: Cindy Roat, MPH

                NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

                Interpreting for Postpartum Care 

                Presented by Marisa RuedaWill, CHI

                Registration will be available in July 2023


                Course Description
                Obstetric care does not end after a baby is delivered. Interpreters are often called to interpret for new mothers in the postpartum unit to discuss lactation, feeding, newborn screening, newborn cares, and postpartum care. This education is comprehensive and may take hours. Like any specialty area, postpartum teaching has its own terminology. Additionally, you will hear about how this care is different for women who have experienced a pregnancy loss.  

                During this session, you will discover the current methods and terminology utilized when interpreting for patients who have recently given birth. You will also hear about how these methods have changed over the last ten years and what this means for the goals of the encounter.  

                In true Tica Interpreter Education fashion, you will also hear stories about women who willingly share their postpartum journeys. These stories will help you understand how each new mother faces their own joys and struggles. Postpartum care varies depending on the patient and their needs. These stories will give you concrete examples to make the information shared poignant and memorable. After attending this session, you will be prepared to work with a variety of postpartum patients.  

                Learning Objectives 

                • Identify common postpartum cares and become familiar with terminology when interpreting for these encounters.  
                  • Learn about postpartum care to nontraditional pregnancy journeys, including pregnancy loss and/or labor and delivery complications.  

                  • Recognize how education regarding newborn screening and lactation have changed over the last decade.  

                  • Reflect on and/or discuss your experience interpreting for postpartum encounters with other medical interpreters.  

                  • Acknowledge how your role as a professional interpreter increases positive patient outcomes by providing clear communication between the patient and provider. 

                    Resources 

                    Each learner will receive the following:
