WEBSHOP: Leukemia for Healthcare Interpreters (Back by popular demand!)

An Interactive Webshop

A webshop is just like an interactive onsite class, but held online through Zoom. During a webshop, you can ask questions and engage in discussion. You may be divided into “break-out” rooms where you’ll be working with other participants on exercises or on practicing a skill. There may be quizzes and polls. So, while there may be some PowerPoint and lecture, this is not like your typical webinar. Your full attention and participation is expected; that’s what makes it fun!

• How and where is our blood made and why is this important for interpreting for leukemia care?
• What is leukemia and what is its place among other types of cancer?
• What is a stem cell transplant?

This 4-hour webshop will provide an introduction to the process by which blood is created and renewed; the nature of cancer in general; the nature of leukemia and its types; and symptoms, tests, and treatments related to leukemia including stem cell transplantation.

Participants will also discuss challenges that interpreters face when interpreting in oncology settings, and in particular during appointments related to leukemia, in addition to ways of overcoming them. Participants will be provided with handouts which will include a copy of the PowerPoint Presentation, a glossary, a written practice worksheet, and role-playing exercises. The workshop will be interactive and allow participants to review the material through group activities and oral interpretation practice.
