Presented by Yuliya Speroff
CANCELLED
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.

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!
Before you register, make sure that your online setup meets the equipment and connectivity requirements. REQUIREMENTS
Via the web (before midnight on October 9th). After registering, you will receive an email confirmation; if you do not receive a confirmation, your registration will not go through.
Credit status will be updated upon approval
