Description:
Significant health disparities have been documented within LGBTQIA+ communities, many of which are the direct result of stigma. As members of the medical team, healthcare interpreters can and do contribute to this stigma, even inadvertently. This workshop will have interpreters examine common assumptions about gender and sexuality, as well as how these biases can affect the application of healthcare interpreting ethical principles. Attendees will ultimately develop a personalized action plan for how they can provide ethical and affirming interpretation services to diverse communities.
Objectives:
- Outline the health disparities experienced by the LGB, trans, gender nonconforming, and intersex communities, as well as how interpreters can contribute to these disparities.
- Identify common assumptions about gender and sexuality, as well as how they can affect application of healthcare interpreting ethical principles.
- Create an action plan for how the interpreter can provide ethical and affirming interpretation services to diverse communities.
