NOTIS’s Community Interpreters Division presents:

Interpreting Special Diets
Presented by Sara Greenlee and Megan Greenlee 

NOTE: This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted for on-demand viewing.

Course Description: 

This on-demand 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. The presentation includes valuable insights and practical applications for interpreters working in medical settings.

Watch at your convenience and earn continuing education credits!

Learning Objectives:

  • 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 presentation slides and key dietary terms.
