NOTIS and Skagit Valley Hospital present
Medical Interpreter Ethics
This 3-hour workshop will cover the elements of the WA DSHS Code of Ethics. Interpreters will share stories of their own experiences in which the ethics elements came into play, and attendees will be involved in joint problem-solving. Interpreters will leave the class feeling confident that they can recognize situations involving the ethics elements and that they can successfully and gracefully respond to ethical challenges as they arise.

Linda Golley manages the Interpreter Services program at University of Washington Medical Center. She is a Commissioner on CCHI, the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters.
