TRAN853: Auslan Interpreting in Medical Settings

The aim of this unit is to provide Auslan interpreting students with the opportunity to discuss and practice advanced interpreting skills in the specialised area of medical interpreting. Students will analyse the complex linguistic, cultural and ethical challenges of interpreting in medical settings such as doctor-patient appointments, hospitals, and mental health counselling sessions, with consideration given to a range of issues. Students will explore the theoretical foundations of the role of the interpreter, duty of care, preparation techniques, medical terminology and interpreting strategies.
