Reframing Systemic Change in Healthcare (3 hrs.) (PPO)

Reframing Systemic Change in Healthcare (.3CEU) (PPO)

Sunday September 10th, 2023 

9:00am-12:00pm

Regardless of healthcare moving towards a model focused on cultivating relationships, Deaf and hard of hearing individuals continue to face numerous disparities and inequities in healthcare. While there are significant benefits to having interpreters present in healthcare settings, the presenter will discuss how interpreters may inadvertently perpetuate and exacerbate the long-standing barriers and challenges the Deaf community faces in healthcare. With this foundation, the presenter will then explore how the interpreting industry can effectively position Deaf and hard of hearing individuals at the forefront of efforts to dismantle systemic barriers negatively impacting patient-provider interactions.

After this interactive training, participants will:

• Recognize systemic barriers Deaf and hard of hearing individuals encounter in healthcare settings;

• Identify techniques to mitigate common issues that may arise between Deaf individuals, interpreters and service providers; and

• Utilize strategies to amplify the messages and actions of marginalized communities in healthcare settings.

The language of the weekend will be ASL.

All workshops will be taught in ASL with no English interpretation. Working interpreters will be present at the banquet to ensure access for all.
