Description

As one of the fastest-changing fields in medicine, genetics is a topic that is coming up more often in more healthcare settings. But highly technical vocabulary and complex medical concepts can present real challenges to interpreters who are not familiar with the concepts and vocabulary related to genetics.

This 8-hour interactive online class is a special opportunity for interpreters to learn to work in the fast-changing field of prenatal genetics, using a curriculum in collaboration with the National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetics Networks.

This workshop introduces basic concepts in genetics and addresses the role of the genetic counselor, common prenatal genetic tests, and the most common genetic issues that arise in pregnancy.

Languages

Language-specific glossaries and practice exercises are provided in Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Arabic.
