Ethics Challenge 2018

This 1.5-hour interactive practice workshop will cover specific scenarios to make the attendees do active problem-solving using the elements of the WA DSHS Code of Ethics. For each scenario, the class will identify which elements of the Code apply and will work out ways to deal with the situation using decision-making about options as well as professional means of presenting their decision to the parties involved. Bring a pen and paper!

All About the Brain: Anatomy, Injuries, Seizures, and Death 

This six-hour training will provide a fundamental overview of the brain for medical interpreters. It will start with an anatomical and functional review. Then, we will learn about different types of injuries to the brain and their effects, with special emphasis on seizures disorders. Lastly, we will learn about brain death and consider how to manage that event cross-culturally. Throughout the workshop participants will have opportunities to role play, build glossaries, and participate in small and large-group discussions. By the end of the workshop, participants will have obtained a thorough working knowledge of the central nervous system.

Who is teaching?
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.
