NOTIS’s Community Interpreters Division presents:
Interpreting Special Diets
Presented by Sara Greenlee & Megan Greenlee Mapes
Master the essential knowledge of specialized diets frequently discussed in medical appointments. Enhance your accuracy and retention with practical insights and hands-on practice.
This workshop walks interpreters through explanations and examples of teachings for the most common specialized diets that patients are put on. Our Registered Dietitian, Megan Greenlee, will review the ketogenic diet, elimination diets for FPIES and EOE, gluten- and dairy-free diets, and more, giving detailed examples of patient education for each one. Participants will have the opportunity to practice specific interpreting skills, like retention and accuracy, that will be needed to interpret dietary teachings in the course of their work. They will have ample opportunity to ask questions of our subject matter expert throughout the presentation.
Goals of the webshop
- Become familiar with the most common types of special diets and the conditions they are used to treat
- Be exposed to vocabulary and phrases used to teach patients about special diets
- Build a glossary of foods that are mentioned during diet teachings
- Improve interpretation-related skills that will be needed in encounters with patients following special diets, specifically: asking targeted questions, improving memory to interpret lists of food, and working on accuracy in self-practice.
Participants will receive handouts with key dietary terms.

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!
Saturday, June 29, 2024, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PST

Megan became a dietitian after earning her first degree in baking and pastry art and becoming fascinated by the science behind food. That experience paired with a desire for a career that would allow her to help others made clinical nutrition and dietetics the obvious choice. She graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2015 and moved to West Virginia to complete her dietetic internship at Ruby Memorial Hospital of West Virginia University. After passing her RD exam in 2016, Megan went into clinical care and eventually made her way to pediatrics. In 2021 Megan passed her Certified Specialist in Pediatrics exam.
