Event Description: 

This training is being offered online, live via remote access due to COVID-19 concerns.

The purpose of this two-day class is to improve knowledge of health care and medical terminology in English and Spanish. Both formal and informal terminology will be reviewed, including pronunciation and definition of terms. Participants will complete their plan of study by learning and reviewing terminology grouped by systems of the body and creating scenarios for role plays, thereby contextualizing the terms in realistic situations. Participants will take turns in group activity role plays, practice high register and colloquial terminology, practice positioning and interpreter modes, and review Hispanic traditional healing terminology. Participants will be introduced to Latin and Greek roots, prefixes, and suffixes to assist in student learning.



*Note: Spanish proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking is required, as this course is taught in Spanish. It is highly recommended that interested participants have completed Interpreter Training Levels 1 and 2 and bring manual.
