 Do you find your interpreting work in the healthcare setting stressful at times? Illnesses, diagnoses, sterile settings, provider-patient interactions, vocabulary… All of these elements of the work, and many more, can challenge us on a daily basis. 

Why does our work seem more stressful at times? The Demand Control Schema (DC-S) is a helpful tool for looking at our work, specifically the challenges we face and the options we have to respond to those challenges.

During this workshop we will discuss:

nIdentify ways we can use this schema to enhance our professional discussions with colleagues
