efsli webinar – CPD activity for interpreters
κλινικός: What is medical interpreting at the bedside?
This is a training on demand designed for SDENG – Association of Interpreters of Greek Sign Language – but open to all interpreters interested in this topic.
Registration deadline: 17th December 2021
Most English medical terms come from the Greek language – including one of the most important in the education and training of medical professionals: κλινικός.
κλινικός or in English, clinical refers to those things at the bedside or with the patient. Clinical settings or those which simulate clinical settings usually result in the most effective learning – and not just for medical professionals but for professional practitioners in general, including interpreters.
For interpreters who work in medical settings, getting access to clinical situations before they are called to work in those settings proves to be the most beneficial educational approach. For example, when exposed to clinical setting, interpreters can learn in context about the types of medical professionals, their communication aims, common medical service protocols, typical diagnostic dialogues (clinical “scripts” of common conditions), and presenting complaints.
This presentation provides a brief sample of this approach to medical interpreter training by examining simulated clinical practice and diagnostic discourse. In particular, we will focus on how to understand typical presenting complaints and the resulting diagnostic discourse.
