Palliative Care Part I and the Interpreter
This is a 90-minute webinar for interpreters of all languages to learn and review Palliative Care. Palliative Care is a new specialization in many countries, and it's a growing field in Western medicine. With the increase of cases needing terminal care in the United States every interpreter should be trained in Palliative Care. In 2010, a survey in California, found that 40% of patients receiving Palliative Care spoke limited English. This shows the need for interpreters to be more knowledgeable of Palliative Care. The interpreter not only needs to master the terminology but also needs to be familiar and aware of the definitions and laws of Palliative Care. When providers in this field work with interpreters, they face a big and unique challenge, but the challenge is even greater for interpreters to convey the meaning of messages and terms used in Palliative Care settings. Reviewing Palliative Care will empower the interpreter to overcome this challenge.
Goals:
To review the definition of Palliative Care
To review the differences between Palliative care and Hospice
To have an overview of Palliative Medicine in the United States and Latin America.
To get familiar with the terms used in this new specialization.
