Regionalisms

The course was designed based on the vast terminology in the Spanish language countries and the difference in terms used by interpreters and the common errors interpreted based on unfamiliar regional terms.  Interpreters will learn how to identify the linguistic features peculiar to a particular region which is not part of the standard language of such country.

Presenter: Ana Meyer, CHITM

Ana Meyer, a Certified Healthcare Interpreter and a graduate of California State University, Fresno, with a double major in Spanish and Journalism. She has been working as a professional interpreter for the last ten years. Ms. Meyer has worked as a trainer with California Healthcare Interpreter Association (CHIA), and several hospitals.


Interpreting for Cancer Genetics

Genetics is a broad and complex subject. Some interpreters may have received classes on genetics as part of high school or college biology, while others may know nothing about genetics at all. This introductory class is designed to give a basic overview of the key concepts in genetics in general, and cancer genetics specifically. The training was designed by Cynthia E. Roat, MPH; Galen Joseph, PhD; Claudia Guerra, MSW; Janice Cheng, PhD; Robin Lee, LCGC; and Karlena Lara-Otero, PhD; with funding from The University of California, San Francisco, Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Give Breast Cancer the Boot.
