Glands (9am to 12pm): a Workshop for Healthcare Interpreters
Hormones. We talk a lot about them, but do we know where they come from?
This three-hour training introduces interpreters to major glands of the body, their locations, functions, and related terminology. Join us to learn about lesser-known parts of the body and to become more comfortable in endocrinology and other specialized encounters. Our workshop will be facilitated by PowerPoint presentation and group discussion. You will also have opportunities to practice consecutive interpreting and sight translation. A glossary and labeling handout will be provided.
Note taking (1pm to 4pm): This three-hour training introduces interpreters to the Rozan System of note taking for consecutive interpreting. Participants will consider how note taking can improve their accuracy and fluency in consecutive interpreting scenarios by supporting their short-term memory. Participants will learn the seven-step system and have several opportunities to practice note taking using video recordings and written scenarios. Handouts will be provided and participants are encouraged to bring ample paper and pens for note taking practice!
