Performance Based CE activities in this workshop include practice exercises for sight translation, consecutive, and simultaneous interpretation.

The purpose of this 4-hour workshop is to introduce healthcare interpreters to medical terminology specifically related to pain management and chemical dependency. Participants will receive terminology, glossaries, and samples of sentences pertaining to these two areas of care. Participants will have the opportunity to practice three modes of interpretation: sight translation, consecutive translation and simultaneous interpretation with specific vocabulary, scenarios and role plays related to pain management and chemical dependency.

Learning Objectives: Build vocabulary related to commonly abused prescription and non-prescription drugs, and other substances Define and discuss specific vocabulary related to chemical dependency (pill mill, doctor shopping, uppers/downers, enabler, binge drinking, gateway drug, etc.) Consider challenges interpreters face: lack of training, complexity of language (slang, high/low register), complexity of chemical dependency (medical, psychological, social, legal, financial challenges), logistics of appointments (group therapy, simultaneous interpretation equipment) Anticipate what to expect when you are asked to interpreter for chemical dependency patients
