Interpreting Coronavirus
1 June 2020 @ 00:00 - 2 July 2020 @ 00:00
FreeInterpreting Coronavirus
The coronavirus pandemic challenges interpreters to transmit specialized information accurately, as well as to adapt practice to the re-organized and stressed healthcare system.
On this webinar, you will learn both how to interpret for patient encounters about COVID-19 and how to keep yourself safe while doing so.
Part 1 will address the biology, transmission, and treatment of the coronavirus and the terms needed to build an interpreter glossary on the topic. We’ll answer questions like:
- What is the difference between screening and testing?
- What is the difference between testing for viral RNA and testing for antibodies?
- What is viral shedding?
- What is a route of transmission
- What is immunity?
Part 2 will focus on how to adapt to interpreting during the pandemic. We’ll talk about
- Switching to remote modalities.
- How to stay safe onsite assignments.
- The value of different sorts of masks.
- What hand hygiene to use in what setting.
- How to react to the anxiety of staff, providers, patients, family members, and one’s own interpreter scheduler
- How to decide which assignments to take.
