NOTIS Community Interpreters Division presents 

Interpreting for LGBT Patients

 The goal of this two-hour workshop is to help prepare interpreters to work with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender patients, families, and medical providers. We will learn about healthcare disparities, cultural humility, privacy considerations, and vocabulary specific to this community. By the end of this session, interpreters will have resources and references to improve their terminology, work more effectively cross-culturally, and help underserved patients access healthcare comfortably.

Yvonne Simpson is the Medical Interpreter Supervisor at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. She holds a Master of Arts in Spanish (Linguistics) and has significant experience in interpreting, translating, teaching and training. Yvonne is a DSHS Certified Spanish Medical Interpreter and is a Certified Medical Interpreter through the National Board.
