Description
Genetic science now allows providers to identify patients who may have a genetic predisposition to getting certain cancers, allowing them to take extra precautions. Interpreting for these appointments requires understanding both genetics and oncology. This 7-hour class (broken into two 3½-hour sessions) will teach basic concepts in genetics and oncology through a fun, interactive format.
Languages
The class also includes practice with English vocabulary, sentence conversion and interpreting authentic patient-provider dialogues in cancer genetics. Practice materials will be available in Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Traditional Chinese.
