Medical Interpreting Fish Bowl: Discussing Teaming and Trust

Price range: $37.49 through $49.99

Course Description & Objectives

In the complex world of medical interpreting, effective communication and trust are paramount. The “Fish Bowl” approach serves as a dynamic platform for interpreters, healthcare professionals, and patients to engage in open dialogue about the challenges and successes of medical interpreting. This discussion emphasizes the critical role of teamwork and trust within the interpreting process, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes.

During this session, Trenton and Jeremy will lead mock scenarios that allow us to explore various decisions and processes influenced by teamwork dynamics within different situational contexts. Participants will have the opportunity to analyze and discuss the implications of these scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of how effective collaboration can improve interpreting practices and patient experiences.

Join us in this engaging conversation as we work together to identify strategies for building trust and enhancing teamwork in medical interpreting.

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

  • List a minimum of five ways teamwork dynamics can impact medical interpreting scenarios
  • Identify a minimum of three strategies to build trust and enhance collaboration in medical interpreting
  • Describe a minimum of two ways that facilitated dialogue can be used to elicit diverse perspectives
