Virtual Workshop: Advanced Medical Interpreting: Ethical Practice For Interpreters - Heather Brown and Anna McDuffie

This workshop will highlight the history of medical ethics and modern, medical ethical practices. The concepts of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice will be discussed to anchor participant’s approach to in-class case studies and to guide their professional practice going forward. Strategies on how to navigate complex ethical situations will be discussed.

Event

As the world advances and the culture of the community we serve become more empowered, we must also pivot our profession. So, what does that look like? We are inviting interpreters of all experience levels to the table to talk about the Interpreting Industry. We want to discuss how we go from interpreting models of the past, to an advanced professional group of service providers who love the community but do not unintentionally steal their power.
