Interpreting for OB/GYN

Understand the language and emotions behind OB/GYN care and interpret with confidence.

Presented by Marisa Rueda Will

Valid through April 9, 2028. You can register and complete the quiz anytime until that date.

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.

Approximately 10% of individuals struggle with infertility problems. The chances are that you know someone who has been affected by difficulty trying to conceive or have a baby. Unlike many medical specialties, reproductive endocrinology is rarely covered by medical insurance. Most patients who seek these treatments have saved for years to see a specialist that can help them try to conceive and have a pregnancy that ends in a live birth.

The stakes are high for limited English proficient patients who seek this type of medical care. It is imperative these patients receive accurate information from an interpreter who understands the physical, emotional, and financial struggles they have endured to receive this care.

During this four-hour webinar, interpreters will hear from a patient, named Sarah, who has experienced infertility struggles. Sarah will share about her struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome which caused her difficulty conceiving a child. She will share about the hardships she and her husband experienced throughout their infertility journey. You will also get a chance to practice what it would be like to interpret for a patient like Sarah through guided consecutive interpreting practice.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how infertility is defined in women and men by reproductive endocrinology specialists.
Recognize commonly used infertility treatments in a stepwise approach.
Distinguish between the physical, emotional, and financial challenges patients’ face while trying to conceive.
Identify medical conditions that are often associated with infertility problems.
Practice interpreting complex human reproduction topics with dialogues based on a patient’s personal experience.

Staying in Your Lane: Scope of Practice for Court Interpreters

Navigate complex situations with confidence by understanding your role and professional boundaries in court interpreting.

Presented by Melinda Gonzalez-Hibner

Valid through December 31, 2027

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.

Course Description:

Often, our sense of obligation to the justice system, to language access, or to our role as officers of the court collides with the expectations of unobtrusiveness and impartiality that are fundamental to the profession. This is understandable, as we can be simultaneously defined as interpreters, officers of the court, subject matter experts, independent contractors or court staff. The fact that many of us work in healthcare, community and conference settings can also serve to complicate our ability to respond appropriately to complex situations in the courtroom.

The environment outside the courtroom, while perhaps less complicated, also poses challenges for novice and experienced interpreters alike. In the absence of guidance from our code of professional conduct, professional interactions with our peers can be rewarding, frustrating or unclear.

What should one do if a colleague is misinterpreting testimony? Or stating on the record that they are certified, when they are not? What if the translated evidence presented by one of the parties is inaccurate? Should you share your opinion about the work of a colleague to one of your clients? Can you ever be a respectable “check” interpreter? Where does the role of the professional interpreter end, and the duty as an officer of the court begin?

If you have ever wondered how best to respond to challenging situations, inside or outside of the courtroom, this webinar is for you. We will discuss our scope of practice and how to apply our code of professional conduct in various settings. Come learn about our field from a wider perspective, including the repercussions your personal practices can have on your profession and your peers.

Learning Objectives:

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

Become familiar with guidance regarding our role and scope of practice in the courtroom, specifically, canons 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 of the Code of Professional Responsibility for Interpreters in the Oregon Courts.
Improve ability to recognize the limits of the interpreter role, whether staff or independent contractor
Gain knowledge and skills necessary to respond to challenging situations by proper application of official guidance and professional standards.
Learn whether official guidance from the state courts or professional associations have any bearing on our professional conduct outside of the courtroom

Participants will receive presentation slides and handouts.

Bridging Legal Systems: National Criminal Procedure in Latin America vs. U.S. Federal Courts

Understand key differences between Latin American and U.S. criminal procedures and interpret across systems with accuracy and confidence.

Presented by Katty Kauffman

Valid through April 5, 2027

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.

Course Description

Legal interpreters working in criminal cases must navigate the complexities of two distinct sets of judicial systems: the criminal justice systems of Latin America and U.S. court systems. This course provides an in-depth comparative analysis of criminal procedure reforms in key Latin American jurisdictions—Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico—and contrasts them with U.S. federal criminal procedure.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of terminological differences, procedural stages, and legal frameworks that impact their work in federal courts and state courts, particularly in Washington State. Special emphasis will be placed on terminological shifts resulting from legal reforms and the interpreter’s role in ensuring accurate, technically appropriate renditions.

Through case studies, procedural flowcharts, and guided terminology exercises, participants will enhance their ability to interpret accurately in U.S. federal and state legal settings when working with Latin American legal concepts.

Note: This workshop includes materials in Spanish and will be conducted in both Spanish and English.

Learning Objectives

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

1. Identify key procedural differences between national criminal justice systems in Latin America and the U.S. federal criminal procedure, including stages from arrest to sentencing.

2. Understand and apply specialized legal terminology used in Latin American criminal procedure, with reference to key reforms that have standardized terminology.

3. Analyze procedural flowcharts from Latin American national systems and the U.S. federal system to improve their ability to anticipate terminology and procedural steps during interpretation.

4. Compare and contrast equivalent legal concepts such as arraignment vs. audiencia de imputación and plea bargaining vs. salida alterna, ensuring accurate renditions. When relevant, explore Washington State-specific terminology and procedural differences.

Valid through September 18, 2028. You can register and complete the quiz anytime until that date.

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.

Course Description:

Translating official legal documents requires different approach than other kinds of translations. Translators working with OLD (Official Legal Documents) have to navigate the requirements of the recipient authority/country. This course will present a unique experience and process that is specific to the instructor's own country of origin (Croatia) but is applicable to any official document translation and in determining the most common requirements in translating OLDs.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of procedural stages of working with clients directly, from initial communications to time and fee estimation, translation process, and finally certification of the translation.

By addressing the common problems, especially when concepts between the original and recipient are not equivalent, participants will enhance their ability to define those concepts of legal translation of official documents and apply them in their work.

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

Identify official documents, hearing personal experience related to the Croatian government
Learn how to identify the requirements specific to the recipient authority,
Gain awareness of the steps in the process to better estimate the time and cost of the service they provide,
Improve their ability to identify the significance of specific terminology and social discrepancies between 2 languages and how to handle them
Learn how to provide a notarized and verifiable certification

Stress and Interpreting

Presented by Eliana Lobo

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.
Available through February 25, 2029. You can register and complete the quiz anytime until that date.

Do you find it harder to focus, remember, or keep up when interpreting under stress?

This on-demand training helps interpreters understand how stress affects performance and provides practical, evidence-based strategies to manage stress in real time.

Course Description

This on-demand training examines the impact of physiological and emotional stress on interpreting performance and provides interpreters with practical, evidence-based strategies to manage stress in real time. Participants will learn how stress responses—such as fight, flight, or freeze—affect memory, attention, breathing, processing speed, and language conversion, and how these effects can compromise accuracy and completeness.

The course explains the cognitive and neurological demands of interpreting, including the increased processing load required when working between two languages, and how stress further reduces cognitive capacity. Through guided instruction and applied exercises, participants will learn techniques to regulate stress responses, manage processing lag (décalage), maintain focus, and intervene professionally when communication begins to break down.

Participants will practice self-calming strategies, flow-management scripts, and targeted skill drills designed to strengthen neuroplasticity and improve performance under pressure. The training emphasizes proactive preparation, self-monitoring, and continued proficiency development to support interpreters working in high-stress environments such as healthcare, legal, and human services settings.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Describe the physiological stress response, including the fight-or-flight reaction, and explain its impact on interpreting performance.
Identify how stress affects memory, breathing, attention, listening, processing time (décalage), and delivery.
Explain the additional cognitive steps involved in interpreting between two languages and why stress increases the risk of errors.
Apply self-calming techniques that activate the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress during interpreting assignments.
Demonstrate strategies for managing the flow of communication using professional scripts for clarification, repetition, and pre-session introductions.
Use targeted practice drills to strengthen neuroplasticity and increase resilience under cognitive and emotional stress.
Develop personalized study and preparation plans to improve readiness for high-stress assignments.

Embedded knowledge-check questions are included throughout the recording to reinforce learning.

Sleep Physiology, Disorders, and Treatments for Medical Interpreters

Interpret sleep-related conditions and treatments with clarity and confidence in medical settings.

Presented by Nada Conner

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.
Available through September 28, 2029. You can register and complete the quiz anytime until that date.

What is this about? This three-hour course is designed for healthcare interpreters and other language access professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of sleep physiology, disorders, and treatment pathways encountered in medical interpreting settings.

Class Description: Sleep-related issues come up often in medical settings, and interpreters are expected to navigate both technical terminology and sensitive conversations. In this workshop, we will look at basic concepts such as sleep stages, common sleep disorders, and key terminology, with a focus on how they show up in real interpreting encounters. We will also touch on situations that can be more challenging, such as conversations involving PTSD, nightmares, and medication. Participants will also receive three optional practice scenarios based on real-life interpreting situations: a medical visit for insomnia, a pharmacy interaction, and a call with an insurance representative. These supplemental materials provide opportunities for self-directed interpreting practice and application of sleep-related terminology.

By the end of this three-hour workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify mechanisms, engineering, and physiology of sleep: stages of sleep, REM and non-REM sleep, sleep deprivation, dreaming, and dreams
Be familiar with the most common sleep disorders, including SDB, insomnia, and PTSD-related nightmares
Recognize treatments and pathways to better sleep, including prescription and over-the-counter sleeping aids, devices, gadgets, and sleep hygiene
Strengthen medical interpreting skills by practicing real-life healthcare scenarios
Enhance their interpreting vocabulary and become more proficient in interpreting sessions dealing with sleep disorders

Participants will receive:

Full presentation content with slides
Glossary of terms covered in the presentation
Comprehensive list of source materials
Practice scenarios for consecutive interpreting, between the provider, pharmacist, insurance representative, and sleep-deprived patient and their family members.

Embedded knowledge-check questions are included throughout the recording to reinforce learning. Participants must complete the accompanying quiz and achieve a score of 80% or higher to meet the completion requirements. The quiz may be retaken as needed.

Sleep Physiology, Disorders, and Treatments for Medical Interpreters - Interpret sleep-related conditions and treatments with clarity and confidence in medical settings

Presented by Nada Conner

What is it about?
This three-hour course is designed for healthcare interpreters and other language access professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of sleep physiology, disorders, and treatment pathways encountered in medical interpreting settings.

Class Description:
Sleep is one of the foundations of good health and well-being. Throughout centuries, people have struggled to achieve better sleep, often using harmful and addictive substances. Today’s modern medicine has made significant progress in explaining how sleep works, how we fall asleep, what happens if we don’t get enough sleep, and how to get better sleep.

We will start with some basic definitions of sleep, walk through the stages of sleep, emphasize the importance of sleep, and touch on the fascinating world of dreams. In the next section, we will discuss sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, nightmare disorders, and PTSD.

After we wrap up the presentation, there will be a quick knowledge-check session with 12 questions (attached) to reinforce our understanding of key concepts discussed in the training. This will be followed by three real-life, interactive practice scenarios. The first one is an appointment between the medical provider and the patient seeking help for insomnia. The second one is between the pharmacist and the patient’s wife, who is trying to pick up his prescription. The third scenario is the telephone call between the health insurance representative and the patient’s daughter, discussing some steps on how to get the coverage for the needed medicine. All three scenarios are based on my own everyday work as a language interpreter. At the close of the training session, we will have a quick Q&A session. The participants can ask questions while being encouraged to do their own research and enhance their knowledge base on sleep through self-guided learning.

After our three-hour journey into the realm of sleep, participants will be able to:

Identify mechanisms, engineering, and physiology of sleep: stages of sleep, REM and non-REM sleep, sleep deprivation, dreaming, and dreams
Be familiar with the most common sleep disorders, including SDB, insomnia, and PTSD-related nightmares
Recognize treatments and pathways to better sleep, including prescription and over-the-counter sleeping aids, devices, gadgets, and sleep hygiene
Strengthen medical interpreting skills by practicing real-life healthcare scenarios
Enhance their interpreting vocabulary and become more proficient in interpreting sessions dealing with sleep disorders

Participants will receive:

Full presentation content with slides 1–33
Glossary of terms covered in the presentation
Comprehensive list of source materials
Practice scenarios for consecutive interpreting, between the provider, pharmacist, insurance representative, and sleep-deprived patient and their family members.

Please note that mobile phone participation is not recommended, as workshops may include breakout room activities requiring a camera and microphone.

Mother Tongue in Other Tongues: Life in Translation, a Public talk by Translator Aron Aji

When
11/10/2026

16:30 - 18:00

Location
Communications Building Room 120, University of Washington, Seattle

Register

Aron Aji cannot recall a time when he was not translating. Growing up in Turkey among Ladino, Hebrew, and French used at home and then, from elementary school on, in Turkish—and studying in English later—he learned to move between languages long before he began translating Turkish literature. In this talk, Aji asks what that lifelong experience brings to the page. What happens when English meets a Turkish text on its own terms? How might the text stretch English’s rhythms and expressive habits, rather than simply fit into them? Aji calls his approach “acoustic translation”: an act of close listening that draws on memory, sound, and the senses to recreate the experience of a work in another language. Translation, in this account, is a way of hearing a text—and of finding one’s way back to the languages of one’s life.

About the speaker: Aron Aji has published ten book-length translations of modern and contemporary Turkish literature, alongside numerous translations of poetry and prose. His translation of Bilge Karasu’s The Garden of Departed Cats won the National Translation Award, and his co-translation with Selin Gökçesu of Ebru Ojen’s Lojman won the 2024 Republic of Consciousness Prize. His translations also include works by Murathan Mungan (with David Gramling) and Ferit Edgü. His most recent translation of Edgu’s landmark novel, A Season in Hakkari, will be published in 2027. For many years, Aji directed the University of Iowa’s Translation Programs; he is a past president (2016-2019) of the American Literary Translators Association.

Diabetes for Medical Interpreters
Presented by Rosemary Cano and Yuliya Speroff

Diabetes is a serious health condition that affects over 34 million Americans. Diabetes can have serious long-term effects on patients’ health and lead to severe complications. Management and treatment of diabetes may involve a team of medical professionals — from endocrinologists to mental health specialists, as well as the patient and their family.

This class is designed to help interpreters prepare for interpreting in encounters related to diabetes care — whether it’s an insulin injection education session or a dialysis discussion. The class will cover:

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

Please note that mobile phone participation is not recommended, as workshops may include breakout room activities requiring a camera and microphone.

Ethical Conundrums in Medical Interpreting
Handle ethical dilemmas with clarity and confidence while staying within your professional role

Presented by Eliana Lobo

What is it about?
Many, if not most, of the ethical mistakes made by interpreters tends to come from a place of trying to be helpful, polite, or supportive. But the unintended consequence may be an ethical violation. Understanding role boundaries clearly can help interpreters navigate the waters of customer service in a way that consistently upholds the Code of Ethics.

This webinar will explore all of the above. Scripts will be shared for positive, professional interaction, and breakout room sessions will offer the opportunity for attendees to practice.

Attendees will learn to describe:

What a code of ethics is
Why a code of ethics exists for every health profession
What the interpreter code of ethics covers

Handouts: We will have a Venn diagram activity for attendees to compare the codes of ethics and then report back on ethics held in common. Please print them prior to the workshop or have them ready on another device.

This workshop will be recorded, and the recording will be available to registrants for one month following the workshop date.

When? Saturday, November 21, 2026, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PDT.
IMPORTANT: Please check-in at 8:50 a.m.! Class from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Death and Interpreting: How We Die and End-Of-Life Care in Healthcare Settings
Presented by Nada Conner

What is this about?
This three-hour webinar is designed for healthcare interpreters and other language professionals who want to expand their understanding of the process of dying, end-of-life support, palliative care, next-of-kin, brain death, autopsy, and burial methods. This course focuses on applying interpreting skills in real-life healthcare encounters.

Course Description
This course is a comprehensive, in-depth training about the process of dying. It explains biological and brain death, how death is determined, who can determine death, life support measures, palliative care, as well as autopsy and burial methods.

Death has always been a subject that people may find difficult to discuss. In this course, we approach the topic from a practical and professional perspective, exploring how death is defined medically and legally, and what interpreters need to know when working in these settings. Topics include end-of-life support, palliative care, brain death, next-of-kin, and medical assistance in dying (MAID), as well as cause and manner of death and post-death procedures.

After This Workshop, Participants Will Be Able To:

Identify key mechanisms involved in the process of dying and how death is determined
Become familiar with hospice and palliative care, and distinguish between in-home and facility hospice
Define life support measures, including CPR, mechanical ventilation, defibrillation, and artificial nutrition and hydration
Distinguish between DNR and DNI
Describe the concept of next-of-kin
Apply medical interpreting skills in real-life healthcare situations
Use complex terminology accurately in challenging encounters
Handle sensitive conversations with professionalism while maintaining appropriate role boundaries

Participants will receive:

Full presentation slides
Glossary of key terms
Source materials
Ten knowledge check scenarios
Five interpreter challenges
Three role-play practice scenarios based on real-life interpreting situations
Knowledge check questions

Healing After Vicarious Trauma for Interpreters
Presented by Marisa Rueda Will, CHI

Course Description:
Vicarious trauma is a hazard of the job for healthcare workers and community service providers. Medical interpreters are not immune to this risk. However, unlike other healthcare and community service providers, interpreters often do not have a built-in support network they can turn to when they are suffering the effects of work-induced vicarious trauma.

Throughout this three-hour workshop, interpreters will learn how vicarious trauma may have affected them. They will also learn how to recognize their default physical and emotional responses to trauma. By recognizing their default trauma responses, interpreters can begin to understand how their bodies and minds are affected by traumatic events.

Furthermore, interpreters will learn how vicarious trauma can lead to positive and productive growth in the future. Interpreters will be able to understand which behaviors and actions are more likely to lead to healing and resilience. Likewise, they will be able to identify which coping behaviors are more likely to lead to addictive and harmful patterns in the long term.

Learning Objectives:

Identify common initial and delayed responses to trauma and vicarious trauma.
Recognize symptoms associated with vicarious trauma.
Distinguish between healthy and unhealthy coping strategies.
Understand which behaviors and thoughts are more likely to lead to post-traumatic growth.
Share traumatic experiences with interpreting colleagues in a safe space.

Please note that mobile phone participation is not recommended, as workshops may include breakout room activities requiring a camera and microphone.

Resources:
Each learner will receive the following:

Interpreting for Dental Services

Presented by Cindy Roat

What is it about?

Bridges, dams, abutments, and anchors – are you interpreting in construction? No! It’s dentistry, and the vocabulary alone can pose some real, um, “concrete” challenges.

This 8-hour webshop will prepare participants to provide interpreting services for five types of dental care: dental hygiene, restorations, extractions, prosthodontics (dentures and implants), and oral surgery. The class will also include basic oral anatomy and a discussion of specific challenges for interpreters serving in dental venues.

Taught in presenter Cindy Roat’s signature style mixing lecture, polls, games, and exercises (plus lots of really bad puns), this class is designed for experienced interpreters and advanced learners. The class will move quickly, covering a lot of material in a short time.

Participants will receive:

A copy of the PowerPoint presentation.
An English vocabulary exercise for each of the first five dental topics
A conversion exercise for each topic
A practice interpreting dialogue for each topic, available in English-Spanish, English-Arabic, English-Korean, English-Cantonese, English-Mandarin, English-Russian, English-Vietnamese and English only.
A bilingual glossary of dental terms available in English-Spanish, English-Arabic, English-Korean, English-Cantonese, English-Mandarin, English-Russian, English-Vietnamese and English only.

Join us for a class that will give you lots to chew on!

Not Just a Headache: Migraine Anatomy and Terminology
Presented by Yuliya Speroff

Course Description: Despite a commonly held belief, migraines are more than just headaches; they are complex neurological disorders that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life - and even impede their ability to see, speak or move during an attack. This specialized course is designed for medical interpreters seeking to deepen their understanding of migraine, a prevalent neurological disorder affecting millions worldwide. As a medical interpreter, their role is crucial in ensuring that patients receive accurate and empathetic care, particularly when dealing with complex conditions like migraine. This course will equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively interpret medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatment plans related to migraine. By preparing to interpret in encounters related to migraine diagnosis and management, medical interpreters will play a vital role in enhancing patient care, reducing medical errors, and contributing to better health outcomes for those suffering from this debilitating condition.

Learning Goals: After attending this class, the participants will be familiar with:

Definition of migraine
Common types of migraine disorder
The specific medical terminology and phrases commonly used to describe migraine symptoms and manifestations, complications, common treatment options, anatomy and physiology of areas of the brain and the body affected by this disorder

The participants will also have an opportunity to integrate new terminology into their practice by engaging in interpreting skill development activities, such as sight translation and consecutive interpretation exercise.

The class materials were reviewed by Nicholas Karagas MD/PhD, Department of Neurology, UW Medicine.

The class was expanded to a 2-hour class with inclusion of interpreting skills development activities, such as sight translation exercises and consecutive interpretation dialogues.

When? Saturday, February 6th, 2027, 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. PST
Check-in at 8:55 a.m. Class from 9 am - 11 am.

NOTIS’s Community Interpreter Division (CID) presents:

Surgery and Cardiology Meds for Language Professionals

Presented by Marisa Rueda Will, CHI

Course Description: This is a 4-hour workshop designed for medical interpreters and translators who work with patients who are undergoing surgery or have heart problems. Medications used in surgical settings are critical for patient safety and the success of procedures. This session will guide language professionals through the terminology and communication challenges associated with surgeryrelated medications, including anesthetics, analgesics, muscle relaxants, and anticoagulants used to manage surgical risks.

Additionally, learners are introduced to cardiac medications and the challenges interpreters and translators face in conveying complex terminology accurately. Through engaging stories, practical scenarios, and interactive exercises, participants will gain deeper knowledge of cardiovascular treatments, medication adherence, and strategies to enhance patient-provider communication. This webinar explores essential cardiac medications used for conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmias, and anticoagulation therapy. Topics include beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and anticoagulants, their functions, side effects, and patient adherence considerations.

Learning Objectives

Identify and define key cardiac medication classes, such as betablockers, ACE inhibitors, and anticoagulants, to accurately interpret healthcare provider instructions.
Develop strategies to navigate terminology challenges and ensure accurate interpretation of cardiac medication discussions.
Identify different types of anesthesia.
Visualize preoperative anesthetic procedures.
Anticipate preoperative instructions regarding medication management.
Integrate knowledge based on context through stories, scenarios, and interpreting skills practice.
