Winter 2021 CCC Medical Interpreter Series - Medical Terminology (any language pairing), with Participant Assessment
Feb 24–Feb 25, 2021 Closed Allied Health
Description
This medical terminology class (for any language pairing) is the last class after a series of five modules and is based on the Cross Cultural Communication (CCC) curriculum. It is offered via live webinar only; interested participants must have adequate technology to participate fully in virtual audio and video interaction with the instructor, with reliable internet connection in their home or work office. Furthermore, this class will be split into two 1/2 day morning sessions to maximize virtual learning - participants are required to attend both 1/2 days of each class for full credit; no partial credit will be awarded. The goal of this particular class is to determine Greek and Latin roots of medical terms in order to interpret effectively in your language pairing.
The classes are offered to those new to the field of medical interpretation, as well as those looking to improve their medical interpretation skills. This educational activity is in collaboration with the WCMS Interpreters Network (WIN).
Possible snow dates: March 3 and 4, 2021
