About the Workshop:
The Palliative Care curriculum, developed with funding from the California HealthCare Foundation, was designed for working interpreters who have completed basic training in healthcare interpreting.
At the completion of the training, participants will be able to:
- Explain in general terms the relationship between curative care, palliative care, hospice care, and pain management.
- Recognize occasions when communication about suffering and end-of-life issues may be unclear and select the option that best represents appropriate interpreting techniques.
- Anticipate and prepare strategies for challenges encountered when interpreting for chaplains and others who may wish to provide spiritual and moral support to patient and family.
- Convert key palliative care terms used in context from English to an appropriate equivalent in a non-English language.
those who pass the post-test. Lunch will be provided.
