Please join MATI for the sixth webinar in our 2015 series:
From Tummy Time to Tethered Cords: Terminology in Developmental Pediatrics
Presented by Liz Essary
The Developmental Pediatrics setting can present many challenges for interpreters, from very colloquial terms, to very complex conditions and procedures. This session will give the interpreter an overview of what to expect when interpreting in the Developmental Pediatrics clinic, including medical providers who work in this setting, developmental milestones, and common diagnoses, procedures and treatments. A handout of terminology in English and Spanish will be provided.
