Interpreting for Cancer Genetics

A continuing education workshop for interpreters in health care

 This workshop provides 4 hours of self-paced continuing education 
CCHI CAEP Id 05725
IMIA CEU Id 18-1015


Workshop/Course Description:

Genetics is finding its way into many different areas of healthcare these days. While interpreters should optimally have training in how genetics is applied in all areas of medicine, this 4-hour training will focus specifically on cancer genetics. By going more deeply into just one area of genetic medicine, we hope to use the short time afforded by a workshop format to effectively improve interpreter understanding – and so interpreter practice – in this focused and previously unaddressed sphere.

At the end of this workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of:

  1. Basic concepts in genetics
  2. The value of genetic testing
  3. The work of a genetic counselor
  4. What to expect in a cancer genetic counseling session

Consecutive Interpreting activities are available for Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, & Russian
