Description

Medical, mental health, and legal interpreters work in settings that extend beyond the operating room, ward, or courtroom. Course content includes an overview of professionalism, ethics, credentialing, equivalent message, vocabulary, register choice, linguistic adaptations, and other industry standards related to these specialized settings. Additionally, students will practice interpreting (sight translations; consecutive and simultaneous interpreting/transliterating) and evaluate the quality of the message.
