Description
This 7-hour interactive online workshop (limited to 30 participants) will prepare interpreters to provide services in prenatal genetics. Developed by veteran interpreter trainer Cindy Roat with a team of prenatal genetic counselors, 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. 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. Language-specific glossaries and practice exercises are provided in Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Arabic.
