Community Interpreter Division presents

Interpreting Coronavirus

Free Webinar 

This live webinar is full. Recorded webinar will be available to watch from April 2nd to April 15th. Click Here to register. 

What is this? The coronavirus pandemic challenges interpreters to transmit specialized information accurately, as well as to adapt practice to the re-organized and stressed healthcare system.

On this webinar, you will learn both how to interpret for patient encounters about COVID-19 and how to keep yourself safe while doing so.

Part 1 will address the biology, transmission, and treatment of the coronavirus and the terms needed to build an interpreter glossary on the topic. We’ll answer questions like:

  • What is the difference between screening and testing?
  • What is the difference between testing for viral RNA and testing for antibodies?
  • What is viral shedding?
  • What is a route of transmission?
  • What is immunity?

Part 2 will focus on how to adapt to interpreting during the pandemic. We’ll talk about

  • Switching to remote modalities.
  • How to stay safe onsite assignments.
  • The value of different sorts of masks.
  • What hand hygiene to use in what setting.
  • How to react to the anxiety of staff, providers, patients, family members, and one's own interpreter scheduler
  • How to decide which assignments to take.
