Mental Mapping the Medical Encounter
May 16, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
An integral skill of the professional interpreter is the ability to correctly anticipate information that parties in an encounter will be discussing. This training will guide participants through typical medical encounters and reveal how prior knowledge of medical subject matter, medical settings, and western bio-medical culture can be used to improve an interpreter’s accuracy and contribute to better patient care. There will also be a discussion of best practices in settings with increased risk of exposure to CV19. This training incorporates lecture, group discussion, targeted research and interpreting practice.
1. Identify at least three roles of a patient’s care team
2. Develop two signed “scripts” for routine patient/provider interaction
3. Describe best practices to uphold NAD/RID CPC tenet 3.0 as it pertains to healthcare
