On Friday, September 14, a day devoted entirely to medical translation and interpretation, the featured guest will be Cindy Roat, a widely-recognized pioneer and authority in the emerging profession of healthcare interpreting. Founding member and former Co-Chair of the National Council of Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC), as well as the primary developer of Bridging the Gap, the country’s most widely-offered training for healthcare interpreters, Ms. Roat will present the following three sessions: “From Medical to Mental Health: Adjusting Interpreting Techniques to the Mental Health Settings”; “Medical Interpreter Certification: A National and State Update”: and "Interpreting for Workers' Compensation Cases".
The highlight on Saturday will be keynote speaker Marshall Morris, first member of the faculty of the Graduate Program in Translation at the University of Puerto Rico, and the developer of its Internet research course and translation internship program. His sessions will deal with editing translated texts and with translator education.
