SUMMARY:Netflix and Learn: Unconventional Resources for Learning Medical Terminology
DESCRIPTION:Leave rote memorization behind! Explore how to make learning medicine and terminology fun and memorable with these entertaining resources.\nFrom webinars to self-paced online courses to medical textbooks\, there are any number of traditional ways for medical interpreters and translators to enhance their knowledge of medicine and terminology. But what about something a little less traditional and a lot more fun? Presenter Yuliya Speroff is ready to show you how to use popular books\, podcasts\, and TV shows to increase your medical vocabulary and understanding of medical concepts! \nTrue\, TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy may not be as accurate as a medical textbook\, but a single scene can contain dozens of medical terms presented in context and tied to dramatic plotlines you will likely remember long after you put the textbook back on the shelf. Podcasts covering medical topics and aimed at the general public are also designed to teach while entertaining. And books written by physicians or medical journalists often explain concepts and terminology within the context of case studies\, bringing medicine to life in ways you’re unlikely to forget. \nWhy not let learning be fun and productive? Attend this webinar to find out how to use these popular and convenient resources to expand your medical knowledge! \nYou will learn how to:\n\nUse a wide variety of resources to study medical terminology\nExtract terminology from books\, podcasts\, movies\, and TV shows intended for the general public\nChallenge yourself to find and share new non-traditional education sources with other attendees\n\nAbout the Presenter\nYuliya Speroff is a Russian-English CoreCHI™- and WA DSHS-certified medical and social services interpreter. In her current role of a supervisor with Harborview Medical Center in Seattle\, Washington\, Yuliya supports the work of a team of staff medical interpreters and manages translation projects. She is certified as both an English and a Russian language instructor with more than ten years of teaching experience. Yuliya’s passion for teaching is evident in the work she does for the non-profit organization Americans Against Language Barriers\, where she is involved in curriculum development and medical interpreter training.

SUMMARY:Psychoeducational and Speech Evaluations: What Interpreters Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to better collaborate with school districts when providing interpreting services in special education settings.\nInterpreters collaborating with educators must take the steps necessary to prepare for the complex vocabulary and protocols that involve psychoeducational and speech evaluations. Throughout the process of assessment and eligibility for special education\, it is imperative that interpretation is accurate\, unbiased\, and complete to ensure that standardized tests provide a valid and true picture of a student’s abilities\, strengths\, and areas of concern. \nThis presentation will provide interpreters with an overview of common psychoeducational and speech pathology assessments used in the educational setting\, the implications of working with an untrained educational interpreter\, and questions that the interpreter should ask during pre-consultation meetings. The presentation will also include resources to prepare for this type of interpreting assignment and a glossary of terms commonly used in the special education evaluation process. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nPrepare for interpreting in special education settings\nExpand your vocabulary and learn protocols specific to psychoeducational and speech evaluations in special education\nAvoid the negative effect of interpreter bias and unpreparedness on the outcome of evaluations\n\nThis webinar was organized in collaboration with ATA’s Medical Division. \nAbout the Presenter\nAna Soler is the chairperson of the National Association of Educational Translators and Interpreters of Spoken Languages and founder of SeSo\, Inc.\, which provides school districts with qualified and trained interpreters and multicultural family engagement workshops.

Ana hopes to continue identifying ways to highlight the cultural wealth of multilingual families while supporting schools to strengthen cultural and linguistic bridges.
