Sight translation in healthcare settings often occupies an underprivileged position among the interpreter’s skills. The frequency of this mode’s application varies depending on the institutional policy and often on the interpreter’s own preference to encourage “converting” it to the consecutive interpreting mode when, instead, a provider explains or summarizes a document. Yet, this skill can be argued to be the most difficult one to master as it requires a balance of interpreting and translation skills, with an added challenge of the variety and complexity of healthcare documents themselves.
This course focuses on identifying elements of equivalency constituting accurate sight translation of a healthcare document and corresponding interpreting sub-skills needed to master this mode.

(https://www.linkedin.com/in/johanna-parker-3b97a8)The course focuses on how simultaneous interpreting in healthcare settings is different than in other settings (conference, legal, educational) and requires different approaches to being successful. Healthcare interpreters may be expected to simultaneously interpret disfluent speech of a psychotic patient, or instructions of a trauma ER team, or an educational session for diabetic patients. Unlike in other settings, healthcare interpreters may need “just to repeat the words” in some cases rather than interpret the speaker’s intended meaning.
The interpreter faces not only linguistic challenges but also those related to managing the encounter and their role as a care team member. Participants will have some practice of simultaneous interpreting and be offered specific tips on how to develop and improve their subskills needed to interpret simultaneously.
The course is delivered in English. It is accredited for 2 PB CE hours, CEAP ID #08883 and is intended for intermediate- and advanced-level interpreters who have experience interpreting in various healthcare settings.
