Course Description & Objectives

Designated healthcare interpreting occurs within complex health systems that influence the partnership. This session explores the structural and institutional dynamics that influence interpreter–Deaf professional relationships, including career stages, organizational parameters, and evolving field demands. We’ll examine how professional/interpreter teams form and how to enter these relationships with professionalism and intention. Participants will leave better equipped to describe these systems, relationships, and the research from the last decade that informs this work.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe at least two major healthcare structures relevant to DP/DI teams.
  • List at least five key factors to consider when developing these teams.
  • Accurately summarize the findings of at least two existing research studies on DP/DI work in healthcare.
