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.

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 for Certification of Medical Interpreters.
