Interpreting in Neurology

This advanced workshop describes the format and process of the standard neurological exam, with an emphasis on interpreting during the mental status assessment and handling neurological speech impairments. It provides case studies as well as role plays and video-practice scenarios. It also provides interpreters with basic knowledge of specialized neurological terms, common conditions and common procedures.
