For years, healthcare interpreters were seen as invisible message conveyors that could not intervene or mediate communication in any way. As the profession has evolved, so have the role expectations and the interpretation of the standards of practice, and yet there are still lines that cannot be crossed. This session explores two commonly misunderstood standards of practice for healthcare interpreters – impartiality and role boundaries – and strategies to uphold them. Both standards are essential to guarantee a patient’s right to equal access, and yet they can be tricky to carry out when a situation challenges personal values or pulls at heartstrings. We will look at how an interpreter’s visibility, implicit bias, and self-awareness can help or impair communication. Attendees will leave with concrete suggestions on how to better visualize the lines they cannot cross and manage an encounter in which they are asked to step out of their role.
Participants will understand the importance and context of relying on national standards of practice
Participants will better understand the national guidelines (NCIHC primarily, but also IMIA and CHIA) regarding impartiality and role boundaries for healthcare interpreters
Participants will be able to apply the principles stated in the national standards of practice to concrete situations as they happen during healthcare encounters with LEP patients
Participants will learn how to apply mindfulness techniques during difficult and/or emotional situations
