{"product_id":"9781563685217","title":"In Our Hands: Educating Healthcare Interpreters","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeaf Americans have identified healthcare as the most difficult setting in which to obtain a qualified interpreter. Yet, relatively little attention has been given to developing evidence-based resources and a standardized body of knowledge to educate healthcare interpreters. \u003ci\u003eIn Our Hands: Educating Healthcare Interpreters\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these concerns by delineating the best practices for preparing interpreters to facilitate full access for deaf people in healthcare settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e       The first section of this volume begins with developing domains and competencies toward a teaching methodology for medical and mental health interpreters. The next chapter describes a discourse approach that relies on analyzing actual transcripts and recordings to train healthcare interpreters. Other chapters feature a model mental health interpreter training program in Alabama; using a Demand-Control Schema for experiential learning; the risk of vicarious trauma to interpreters; online educational opportunities; and interpreting for deaf health care professionals. The second section offers four perspectives on education, including healthcare literacy of the clients; the education of Deaf interpreters; the development of standards for spoken-language healthcare interpreters; and the perspectives of healthcare interpreter educators in Europe. The range and depth of \u003ci\u003eIn Our Hands\u003c\/i\u003e takes significant strides in presenting educational opportunities that can enhance the critical services provided by healthcare interpreters to deaf clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallaudet University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050773233904,"sku":"9781563685217","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781563685217_p0.jpg?v=1763789919","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781563685217","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
