Some comments received:
  • Great presentation during which so much information was shared. This was my first NCIHC webinar and I am very excited to explore the recordings of existing training as well as looking forward to the next session. The knowledge, tips, drills and resources shared are going to help me greatly as I build my agency's Training and Development program. 
  • Thank you. I am not a trainer, but I felt that a lot of the content was great for non-trainers - for Medical Interpreters who don't yet embrace the notion of simultaneous interpreting being needed on the job. Thank s again.
  • Thanks for presenting a webinar dedicated to simultaneous interpreting, rarely available, and hard to master. Great ideas to share with students and put them to practice. Thanks!
  • Very informative and well-guided webinar, excellent points where the interpreters sometimes have difficulties.
  • It was great and very helpful!

Description: 

Simultaneous interpreting is tested by one of the national certifying entities for healthcare interpreters, yet trainers do not always include it in their offerings and sometimes interpreters are ill equipped or hesitant to use it in a medical context. This webinar will address these gaps on why and how to teach simultaneous interpreting to healthcare interpreters, and is structured with them in mind, presenting 1) the reasoning and context of training interpreters in this mode, and 2) the techniques and tools for doing so. The presenter will discuss a bit of theoretical underpinnings, best practices for simultaneous, a decision-making tool for when to use it, practical ways to incorporate it into classroom-based and remote education, outcome measures, and how to provide constructive feedback. Current technological options will be heavily featured – no need for tape decks or audio labs!

Learning objectives:

After attending this webinar, participants should be able to:

  • Understand the reasoning and context for teaching simultaneous interpreting to healthcare interpreters
  • Present students with the best practices and a decision-making tree for using simultaneous in healthcare settings
  • Measure a student’s performance in simultaneous mode
  • Provide constructive feedback to students who are learning simultaneous
  • Employ current technological tools in their classroom-based and remote courses
