    What is it about?
    Vaccines are the newest hot topic across the world. If you have worked in pediatric medicine though, you are already very familiar with them.

If you’re curious about the science behind different types of vaccines or the systemic damage one tiny pathogen can cause, then this is the workshop for you. We will dive deep into the diseases targeted by the CDC’s pediatric vaccination schedule and the vaccines that are making them history.

    Learning Objectives: 

    • Understand the vaccine schedule recommended by the CDC for pediatric patients
    • Understand the different types of vaccines currently recommended for children in the US and the science behind their development
    • Learn about disease pathology of vaccine-preventable pediatric illnesses

    NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents:

    Interpreting for Infant & Pregnancy Loss 
    Presented by Marisa Rueda 

    This is a recorded workshop formatted into an on-demand workshop.


    What is it about?
    Pregnancy is 
    often associated with new life. However, not all pregnancies result in the birth of a healthy child. Obstetric care accounts for a large volume of medical encounters requiring an interpreter. While routine obstetric visits may be predictable and short, medical interpreters need to be prepared to interpret for LEP patients who experience pregnancy complications and loss.

    During this session, you will learn about common causes, terminology, and standard care for infant and pregnancy loss. Additionally, you will hear stories about women who have first-hand experiences with this tragic loss of life. Their stories will provide insight on the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of experiencing this type of loss.

    Coming away from this session you will not only be more intellectually prepared, but also better equipped mentally and emotionally to interpret for patients in these encounters. You will also learn why professional interpreting services can significantly improve outcomes for LEP patients and family members in such situations. 

    Learning Objectives

    1. Identify common causes of pregnancy loss and treatment in the early, middle, and late stages of pregnancy. 
    2. Learn about standard care for patients who experience pregnancy loss during the first, second, and third trimesters. 
    3. Recognize the emotional, psychological, and physical challenges specific to pregnancy and infant loss.  
    4. Understand the role of good communication in reducing the risk of emotional and psychological pathologies after pregnancy loss. 
    5. Reflect on and/or discuss how interpreting for these losses affects medical interpreters.

    Interpreting for Well Visits

    Presented by Eliana Lobo

    Are you new to healthcare interpreting?
    Are you a conference, 
    social services or court interpreter who is interested in taking healthcare assignments?

    If so, this is the workshop for you!


    What is it about? This webshop is a two-hour workshop, covering interpreting for check-ups and well visits in the following areas of specialization: Adult Medicine and Pediatrics, often referred to as Family Medicine, and the Dental Clinic.  Topics one can expect to cover in each clinic; how to prepare in advance (terminology and concepts related to development, metrics and measurements); proper protocols before, during and after the examination will be reviewed. Resources, recommendations and best practices for interpreting in these settings will be shared. 

    Standards of Practice related to sight translation and assisting patients with forms will be looked at carefully. You will learn about a tool for quickly assessing sight translation requests (that is, weeding out requests that are appropriate from those that are not, along with practical suggestions for handling these requests. Best practice recommendations for navigating privacy issues when assisting patients with paperwork will be shared, as well as how to handle the entering of personal information on forms. The importance of the Pre-Session will be reviewed.

    Most of this presentation is devoted into delving into what distinguishes annual check-ups for both men vs women, adult vs an infant or child, and for dental appointments. What one can expect will take place during these types of well visits will be explained. With the changes brought about by the implementation of Section 1557, more and more dental practices are scheduling interpreters for their patients. A review of practices for preventative (annual check-ups) and corrective (orthodontia) dental care will be reviewed.

    This session also covers best practice for assisting patients with intake and return visit paperwork, and NCIHC recommendations for what qualifies for sight translation, and what types of documents need to be professionally translated.
    There will be practice delivering a brief, yet complete pre-session, and how to ask for repetitions and clarifications in a professional manner. Methods (formulas) and phone apps for converting from imperial to metric measures will be shared. Mathematical concepts such as median, mean, average, percentage and percentile, will be discussed in order to help attendees grasp the concepts clearly, so as to find equivalents for their language pair.
    Free links to reputable resources for glossaries, terminology, patient education material and standards of practice will be provided.

    This is a recorded workshop reformatted into an on-demand format.

      What You Need to Succeed as a Video Remote Interpreter

      Presented by Eliana Lobo

      This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted into on-demand.

      What is it about?

      This workshop looks at best practices for remote interpreting from home. Increasingly, during the pandemic, many onsite interpreters have made this shift as independent contractors. Telehealth is booming, and despite the easy commute when one works from home, assignments have gotten tougher, as remote interpreting requests have grown in scope and increasingly are scheduled for complex encounters, during this pandemic.

      Guidelines for choosing equipment, workstation set-up and connectivity requirements, observing HIPAA, and managing clients during the session are shared. We’ll look at how to:  enhance one’s remote persona, and utilize scripts to enforce best practice (pre-session, confidentiality, transparency and managing the flow). Local and Federal law governing call center employment practices will be examined. Links will be shared for materials and exercises to assist interpreters with skills assessment and enhancement. 

      Learning Objectives:
      1) Understand how to triage requests to the appropriate modality
      2) Know how to configure your home or call center workstation for best user experience
      3) Understand the importance of continually self-assessing one’s interpreting skills; knowing where to find training materials to develop and improve that skillset

        Northwest Literary Translators Group presents

        Self-Editing for Literary Translation

        Presented by Mia Spangenberg and Kay Heikkinen

        NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted into on-demand.

        The Northwest Literary Translators welcome you to an online seminar about literary translators' favorite methods for editing their own work. From reading out loud to changing the color of the font, we all have strategies and tricks for forcing ourselves to see (and hear!) our text in a new light. But are there specific areas or types of text that present extra pitfalls when editing? Is there a perfect time of day for dealing with revisions? How many drafts is too many? Come to hear your colleagues' collected wisdom and share your best tips with us.

        This event will be organized into two parts. Part 1 will be brief presentations by members who have a specific set of techniques to share or demonstrate. Part 2 will be devoted to discussion and brainstorming.

        Presented by Robin Ragan

        This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted into on-demand.

        What is it about?

        Get familiar with the who, what, where, and why of a psychosocial evaluation from the context of nursing, social work, criminal and immigration law.

We will also cover the unique features of this type of evaluation so that the interpreter can anticipate the format and flow, ranging from syntax to emotionally charged content. Find out what skills you need for this type of interpretation and what you can do to improve those skills.  We will also practice with a mock script! 

        Learning Goals:

        • Describe the purpose of a  Psychosocial Evaluation in various contexts

        • Anticipate the format and flow of a psychosocial evaluation

        • Describe challenges interpreting for these sessions

            NOTIS’s Community Interpreter Division (CID) presents: 


            Interpreting for OB/GYN

            Presented by Marisa Rueda, Will, CHI


            Course Description:

            Approximately 10% of individuals struggle with infertility problems. The chances are that you know someone who has been affected by difficulty trying to conceive or have a baby. Unlike many medical specialties, reproductive endocrinology is rarely covered by medical insurance. Most patients who seek these treatments have saved for years to see a specialist that can help them try to conceive and have a pregnancy that ends in a live birth.

            The stakes are high for limited English proficient patients who seek this type of medical care. It is imperative these patients receive accurate information from an interpreter who understands the physical, emotional, and financial struggles they have endured to receive this care.

            During this four-hour webinar, interpreters will hear from a patient, named Sarah, who has experienced infertility struggles. Sarah will share about her struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome which caused her difficulty conceiving a child. She will share about the hardships she and her husband experienced throughout their infertility journey. You will also get a chance to practice what it would be like to interpret for a patient like Sarah through guided consecutive interpreting practice.

            Learning Objectives

            1. Understand how infertility is defined in women and men by reproductive endocrinology specialists.
            2. Recognize commonly used infertility treatments in a stepwise approach.
            3. Distinguish between the physical, emotional, and financial challenges patients’ face while trying to conceive.
            4. Identify medical conditions that are often associated with infertility problems.
            5. Practice interpreting complex human reproduction topics with dialogues based on a patient’s personal experience.

              NOTIS’s Community Interpreters Division presents: 

              Interpreting for Postpartum Care 
              Presented by Marisa Rueda Will, CHI


              Course Description
              Obstetric care does not end after a baby is delivered. Interpreters are often called to interpret for new mothers in the postpartum unit to discuss lactation, feeding, newborn screening, newborn cares, and postpartum care. This education is comprehensive and may take hours. Like any specialty area, postpartum teaching has its own terminology. Additionally, you will hear about how this care is different for women who have experienced a pregnancy loss.  

              During this session, you will discover the current methods and terminology utilized when interpreting for patients who have recently given birth. You will also hear about how these methods have changed over the last ten years and what this means for the goals of the encounter.  

              In true Tica Interpreter Education fashion, you will also hear stories about women who willingly share their postpartum journeys. These stories will help you understand how each new mother faces their own joys and struggles. Postpartum care varies depending on the patient and their needs. These stories will give you concrete examples to make the information shared poignant and memorable. After attending this session, you will be prepared to work with a variety of postpartum patients.

                NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

                Interpreting for Pediatric Genetics

                Presented by Cindy Roat

                What is it about? Genetics a topic that is coming up more often in more healthcare settings, from primary care to cancer care. But highly technical vocabulary and complex medical concepts can present real challenges to interpreters who are not familiar with concepts and vocabulary related to genetics.
                This 7-hour online workshop is a special opportunity for interpreters to learn to work in the fast-changing field of pediatric genetics, using a curriculum developed by veteran interpreter instructor Cindy Roat – the second of three new curricula being funded by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. This workshop introduces basic concepts in genetics and addresses the role of the genetic counselor, genetic testing, and the most common genetic issues that arise in pediatrics. Technical vocabulary is introduced and exercises help the interpreter learn the vocabulary both in English and a non-English language. Finally, interpreting exercises based on real-life interactions provide practice. Language-specific materials will be made available in Spanish, Traditional Chinese/Cantonese, Vietnamese and Arabic.   

                This workshop will not be recorded. To earn continuing education credits, you must attend the live webinar in its entirety for both sessions.


                What is a Webshop? A webshop is just like an interactive onsite class, but held online through Zoom. During a webshop, you can ask questions and engage in discussion. You may be divided into “break-out” rooms where you’ll be working with other participants on exercises or on practicing a skill. There may be quizzes and polls. So, while there may be some PowerPoint and lecture, this is not like your typical webinar. Your full attention and participation is expected; that’s what makes it fun!

                When? Two sessions: Saturday, January 25 AND February 1, 2025, 9am to 12:30pm, PST

                Where? Three days in advance, and again the day before the event, you will receive reminder emails with log-on instructions. Email or Text/Call 425-247-0684 (voice message only) if you don't receive a reminder. Skype Name: live:notisnet
