Medical Interpretapes
INTERPRETAPES© MEDICAL EDITION Volume 1 is the first of a series of simulated language lab exercises designed to help the medical interpreter build his/her skills at home. Based on techniques and insights from the Agnese Haury Institute - the longest-running Spanish/English professional interpreter training program in the country - INTERPRETAPES© MEDICAL EDITION draws on the experience of working interpreters and uses authentic, real-world scenarios to provide self-study materials that will have the broadest possible application and the maximal effect for the student.
Volume 1 presents five doctor-patient interviews for practice in consecutive interpretation.
Each interview focuses on a different health issues prevalent in the United States:
- Asthma
- Colon Cancer and Colonoscopy
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Blood Pressure and Stroke
- Heart Attack Predisposition
In addition, each interview is rendered by a Federally Certified Court Interpreter (with an accompanying transcript) to enable self-critique and analysis.
Volume 1 also presents a brief medical overview for each of the five conditions, in both English and Spanish, providing the interpreter with:
- Greater grasp of specialized terminology in use than can be gained from a glossary.
- Beginning conceptual background to help make better sense of the conditions as discussed between doctor and patient
- Diabetes Mellitus
In addition, each of the five medical overviews is recorded to allow for simultaneous interpretation practice.
