  Reframing our relationship to MT: the future of human translation in a globalized world 

  Presented by Mary McKee

  Free for NOTIS members! Watch the recording and earn CEU.

  
  

  Event Description:
  The tension between human translators and MT engines has increased in recent years, with each side trying to prove their superiority over the other. Human translators increasingly take to social media to vent their fears, frustrations, and assertions that human translation is better and always the answer to any client's translation needs, while scrappy MT startups tout the speed and ease with which they can solve any translation problem with opaque and complex algorithms. This leads to conflict and fighting over jobs as neither player really understands the role of the others in the industry. Mary will draw on her decade of experience as a freelancer working with large LSPs and individual clients and her experience as a project manager in the MT and human translation areas to build a better picture of the worldwide translation industry. Participants will work together to brainstorm steps they can take to protect their careers and expand the services they offer in order to work with, not against, MT. 

  Learning Objective:
  

  • Locate the human translator within the larger language industry
  • Identify use cases for human translation versus MT from a client's point of view
  • Understand the global market for translation, its growth potential, and the market forces at work
  • Build an actionable list of steps to protect and expand your career as a human translator in light of the future of MT

  

  Recorded date: November 10th, 2022, 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. PST

  Presented by Sara Greenlee, MA CT

  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. But do we really know everything we’d like to about pediatric vaccines and the diseases that they prevent? 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
  • Practice targeted skills necessary for interpreting the vaccine schedule and vaccine information
  • Become familiar with diseases discussed in well child and vaccine appointments

  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 Psychosocial Evaluations

  Presented by Robin Ragan

  
  

  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. Learn about the ways a psychosocial evaluation is different from mental health therapy. 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

  • Name coping strategies for the interpreter

  • Know how to get involved

  Interpreting for Survivors of Domestic Violence 

  Presented by Yuliya Speroff

   Every year, more than 10 million men and women in the U.S. experience domestic violence. Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of class, gender, race, age, disability, religion or educational background. Medical interpreters may find themselves interpreting for survivors of domestic violence in a wide variety of settings - from an emergency room to a counseling session. Interpreting in such encounters can present unique challenges to interpreters in terms of terminology, the importance of upholding the ethical principles, and vicarious trauma.

  After attending this class, the participants will be able to:
  - Define domestic violence and related concepts
  - Give examples of domestic abuse
  - Explain how domestic violence affects immigrant victims
  - Discuss challenges related to interpreting for survivors of domestic violence and strategies for overcoming them
  - Practice with converting key terminology into their working language(s)

  SUBTITLING 101 - THE ART AND SCIENCE OF GOOD SUBTITLES

  
  

  What is it about?

  With streaming services and demands for accessibility, subtitles are fast gaining a foothold in the non-traditional subtitling countries. But what goes into making good subtitles? Is it just what pleases the eye of the subtitler, or is there a rhyme and a reason for doing things a certain way?
  
  In this 2.5-hour seminar, we will look into the science that has shaped the best practices of subtitling, learn how to build balanced, reader-friendly subtitles and get a glimpse of how a subtitling software works.

  

  An Interactive 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 are expected; that’s what makes it fun!

  

   Saturday, June 10th, 2023, 9 a.m. - 11:30a.m. PST 
  Check-in at 8:50 a.m. Class from 9 - 11:30am.

   
  The day before the webshop, you will receive an email with log-on instructions and with the handouts for the class.

   $40 NOTIS members, $70 Non-members (Click to Join NOTIS)
  Space is limited to the first 30 registrants.

  Impartiality while interpreting healthcare within the LGBTQ+ Community

  Presented by Christopher Cardona

  

   

  Healthcare interpreters invest a significant amount of time in learning medical terminology and the ins and outs of the US healthcare system - and rightly so. However, interpreting encounters in healthcare settings are not all dense medical jargon - they involve real people speaking real language, which may include small talk, stories, jokes, idioms, and cultural references. Representation, terminology, and cultural references are unique within the LGBTQ+ Community, which must be accurately and neutrally facilitated by the healthcare interpreter. Not only does the interpreter need to get the right facts, but the right jargon, which is culturally appropriate and respectful, without bias from the interpreter.

  This 2-hour class will equip participants with strategies for implementing modern, culturally appropriate, and respectful terminology, as well as strategies for recognizing bias through lecture, examples, and group participation activities. A time for questions & answers will be provided within a safe space for learning in a non-judgmental environment.

  At the end of this presentation, participants will:
  

  • Produce accurate, modern, and culturally appropriate terminology related to the LGBTQ+ Community
  • Discuss ways in which to recognize and avoid bias
  • Provide examples for future learning
    

  
  LGBTQ+ (+ stands for IA=intersex and asexual/aromantic/agender) "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one's sexual or gender identity), intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender"
