Interpreting for Postpartum Care (Online live via Zoom) Two sessions, 8 CEUs by DSHS (#691), AOC, CCHI, ATA. 0.8 by IMIA/NBCMI. $119/Members

NOTIS’s Community Interpreters Division presents: 

Interpreting for Postpartum Care 
Presented by Marisa Rueda Will, CHI

Obstetric care does not end after a baby is delivered. Interpreters are often called to interpret for new mothers in the postpartum unit to discuss lactation, feeding, newborn screening, newborn cares, and postpartum care. This education is comprehensive and may take hours. Like any specialty area, postpartum teaching has its own terminology. Additionally, you will hear about how this care is different for women who have experienced a pregnancy loss.  

During this session, you will discover the current methods and terminology utilized when interpreting for patients who have recently given birth. You will also hear about how these methods have changed over the last ten years and what this means for the goals of the encounter.  

In true Tica Interpreter Education fashion, you will also hear stories about women who willingly share their postpartum journeys. These stories will help you understand how each new mother faces their own joys and struggles. Postpartum care varies depending on the patient and their needs. These stories will give you concrete examples to make the information shared poignant and memorable. After attending this session, you will be prepared to work with a variety of postpartum patients.
  

• Identify common postpartum cares and become familiar with terminology when interpreting for these encounters.  

• Learn about postpartum care to nontraditional pregnancy journeys, including pregnancy loss and/or labor and delivery complications.  

• Recognize how education regarding newborn screening and lactation have changed over the last decade.  

• Reflect on and/or discuss your experience interpreting for postpartum encounters with other medical interpreters.  

• Acknowledge how your role as a professional interpreter increases positive patient outcomes by providing clear communication between the patient and provider.

• Interpreting practice script 

• Link to interpreting practice voiceover PP video
