What’s it about?
Ethics has never been so much fun! This two-hour class uses the format of the game show “Jeopardy!” to meet your one-credit ethics requirement for DSHS as well as to get you thinking about how the DSHS Code of Conduct applies to real-life situations. Join veteran interpreter trainer Cindy Roat for a fun and ethical workshop!

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this class, participants will be able to:
- Name the 12 canons of the DSHS Code of Conduct
- Identify which canon applies to a given circumstance in healthcare or social service interpreting
- Use the principles of the canons to the given circumstances to describe an appropriate response in the given circumstances
Handout: 12-WAC 388-03-050 DSHS Code of Conduct 2021.pdf
This class is a redesign of the very popular Ethics Jeopardy! class approved by LTC in 2023. As so many interpreters have asked to retake the class for their annual ethics credit, the class has been redesigned, using the same Jeopardy template but changing the questions and answers.
This short class will still begin with a quick review of the canons of the DSHS Code of Conduct. Then, as in the previous version, the participants will be split into two teams to play a game using the Jeopardy format to challenge their memory of the canons and their ability to apply the canons to specific interpreting challenges. The questions, however, will be different, as will the specific interpreting challenges presented.
This workshop will not be recorded.
To earn credit, live attendance is required.

Guidelines for earning ethics credits:
Annual Gateway Ethics Quiz and Live Classes: Interpreters can take the Gateway Ethics Quiz every year to earn ethics credits within the four-year cycle. However, please note that a live ethics class or webinar can only be counted for credit once every four years, according to LTC regulations.
*Note: If WA AOC has not approved this workshop by the date it takes place, it will not appear on your certificate of completion. You can check the Continuing Education Class List later to see if it was approved. Please keep in mind that AOC decides the type of credit awarded, so it may differ from what NOTIS requested.
