“I’M NOT JUST BILINGUAL, I’M A PROFESSIONAL INTERPRETER” (1 h)
The interpreting field continues to grow rapidly, and more robust training is being developed for all specializations and modalities. However, the training system for interpreters still needs to be standardized across language pairs and the country. So, what can interpreters do to support professional standards and educate those requesting services? We, interpreters, are models and hold ourselves and each other accountable. In this presentation, we'll discuss what's expected from interpreters, the various credentials available, and how you can stand out in this competitive market. We'll help you plan your path to finding work using your portfolio and social media presence.

DRUGS, MEDICATIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY: IMPLICATIONS FOR LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS AND TRANSLATORS
Most healthcare-related interpreting sessions involve information regarding names of medications, classification, side effects, routes of administration, dosage, and mechanisms of action by which drugs work in our body. In addition, translated versions of specialized books and documents in pharmaceutical and pharmacological fields into non-English languages are vital sources of information in many countries. Having a basic understanding of drugs and medication-related concepts makes interpretations and translations more accurate and understandable. This session will review the information mentioned above, how our body affects drugs, pharmaceutical presentations, implications of understanding certain pharmacological parameters, and medication terminology in general.
