NOTIS Community Interpreters Division presents
Interpreting for the Injured Worker
Notice: Due to the weather, the training “Interpreting for the Injured Worker” on 2/9/19 is CANCELLED. We are very sorry for this inconvenience. Registrants will receive a full refund. Please consider enrolling in future NOTIS classes to meet your training needs.
What is this? The purpose of this six-hour workshop is to help interpreters improve their knowledge of the terminology needed to accurately and successfully interpret for injured workers. This workshop will help healthcare interpreters as well as court interpreters who work in workers’ compensation cases and depositions.
What you will learn:
- Types of injures (specific, cumulative, stress-related, etc.);
- The language of the worker (types of jobs, tasks, tools, machinery, etc.);
- Comprehensive and detailed description of medical conditions resulting from work injuries: orthopedic (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, back disorders, knee, ankle), chronic pain, mental health disorders;
- Types of treatment (PT, pain management, medications, psychological, FRP, etc.);
- Overview of the workers’ compensation system (medical-legal evaluations, parties involved, disability rating, apportionment, C&R, MMI, stipulation, utilization review, etc.);
- Interpreting in depositions for injured workers;
- Challenges for interpreters and cultural considerations.
This will be an interactive and engaging workshop. There will be ample opportunities to review specific vocabulary, scenarios, and practice consecutive interpretation though role-plays and mini-dialogues. Participants will receive glossaries and study materials to practice after the workshop.
