Are you just starting out in the Interpreting profession or have wondered if you did the “right” thing after a completed assignment? Ethics & professionalism are a priority that does not only include Interpreters but the population and entities we represent. It is more than a set of rules or policies governed by multiple systems and professional organizations. Ramifications of our actions include the media, legal liability, social expectations, attire, confidentiality, private as well as the public arena to name a few. What is needed before, during and after assignments will be analyzed. Participants will view brief “real- world” visual scenarios, be involved in collaborative breakouts and gain insight to methods and skills. Whether you are a novice or veteran Interpreter walk out knowing what the professional reflection in your mirror should be.
Kim Hunt- NIC Master, Texas BEI Level IV, Texas Court and Texas Medical.
