Glands and Seizures: a Workshop for Healthcare Interpreters

This workshop will cover two important health topics that any interpreter working in endocrinology or neurology needs to know.

Glands:   This training introduces major glands of the body, their locations, functions, and terminology related to them. It will be facilitated via PowerPoint presentation and group discussion. A glossary and labeling handout will be provided.
Seizures and Epilepsy: This training provides an introduction to seizures and epilepsy. We will cover some of the major causes, types, and symptoms of seizure activity as well as common diagnostic tests and treatments. It will be facilitated via PowerPoint presentation and group discussion. A glossary of common terms will be provided.
