Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

COMPASSION & ADVOCACY IN MEDICAL INTERPRETING
Q: How do you identify this invisible line of being compassionate and overstepping your role as an interpreter?
If I feel uncomfortable with a situation, the patient likely feels uncomfortable too. It's about gauging the atmosphere and the context of the medical appointment, and adapting appropriately without compromising professional integrity.
COMPASSION & ADVOCACY IN MEDICAL INTERPRETING
Q: What are some of the downfalls about being compassionate while interpreting?
Being overly friendly can lead patients to see interpreters as friends rather than professionals, which complicates the therapeutic relationship. It's important to maintain a professional distance while still being compassionate.
COMPASSION & ADVOCACY IN MEDICAL INTERPRETING
Q: Ana, in your own words, what is compassion?
Compassion in interpreting involves being a cultural broker while ensuring that what is communicated is understood correctly. It considers the context and feelings associated with the words being used.
WHAT ENGLISH ONLY REALLY MEANS
Q: Is over-the-phone interpreting harder than you think?
The guest shares that the uncertainty of the calls and bad acoustics make it challenging to work as an OPI.
INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES INTERPRETER CRISIS
Q: For those listening, what would you advise for them to become an interpreter?
Jace encourages those who speak Indigenous languages to gain confidence in interpreting despite intimidation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the message rather than just the words.
