WEBSHOP: Social Work for Healthcare Interpreters

NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

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!

 Medical social workers play an important role in the care of patients dealing with complex medical issues. Depending on a setting, the role of a healthcare social worker may include a vast number of duties, including developing discharge plans, providing counseling, referring patients to appropriate resources, and participating in care planning. This 3-hour workshop will help interpreters prepare for social work appointments in healthcare settings by providing an overview of the role of a medical social worker, discussing challenges that such appointments might present for an interpreter and suggesting ways of coping with them. Participants will be provided with a glossary and a list of helpful resources. The workshop will include group discussions as well as skill development for sight translation and consecutive interpretation.
