Description:
This 6-hour workshop is a special opportunity for interpreters to learn to work in the fast-changing field of pediatric genetics, using a new curriculum in collaboration with the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. This workshop introduces basic concepts in genetics, introduces the providers on the genetic services team, walks through what to expect in a pediatric genetic consult, and discusses genetic testing. Technical vocabulary is introduced and exercises help the interpreter learn the vocabulary both in English and a non-English language. Finally, interpreting exercises based on real-life prenatal interviews create opportunities for practice. We will provide language-specific glossaries in Arabic, Chinese, French, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Blank (English). We will also provide practice exercises.
Objectives:
- To become familiar with the concepts of pediatric genetics and test knowledge against exercises, pre and posttests and discussions for self paced learning.
- To practice technical vocabulary relevant to a pediatric genetics encounter in practical interpreting exercises and advance the interpreters knowledge and confidence.
- To participate in exercises based on real-life pediatric genetics encounters to develop personalized strategies that address challenges inherit in this specialty.

This class is designed for interpreters who have already received basic interpreting training. As such, it does not address basic interpreting skills, ethics or protocols, but rather focuses on helping working interpreters improve their understanding of the content and vocabulary they will encounter in pediatric genetics appointments.
