ATISDA-SPONSORED SPEAKERS

María I. Lopez
The Art of Medical Interpretation and Translation: Analysis of an interpreting encounter in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit

Maria Lopez, B.A. is a professional Medical Interpreter for UCSD Medical Center. Maria completed the Translation and Interpretation Professional Certificate Program at UCSD Extension.

She currently teaches a university-level medical Spanish workshop. Maria volunteers as Cultural Competency Advisor for the UCSD Nursing education program. She tutors doctors in medical Spanish. She did volunteer work as an interpreter for the Flying Samaritans. Maria has had her creative writing published by the UCSD Medical School literary magazine.

This workshop offers:

1. Lessons learned during a four-hour interpreting session for the family of a patient admitted to the SICU via the Trauma Bay.

2. The option to actively learn via role-play and taking part in discussion groups. We’ll review skills required when interpreting and translating for several different services in a high-stress environment.

3. A case study that reveals the challenges involved in interpreting and translating between the patient’s family and Highway Patrol Officers, Nurses, a Social Worker, priests, a chaplain, a Medical Examiner and security officers.

July 12th - 10:30 am to 12:00 pm
Diana Landau M.D., M.P.H.
Informed Consent for Clinical Trials

Informed Consent is one of the most basic ways by which health care professionals protect the subjects' rights to be informed and to make decisions based on relevant information. This is the consent by a subject to a proposed specific procedure or for participation in a research project or clinical study. It not only protects the subject but also protects the professionals performing the trial or procedure. In order for the consent to be informed the subject must first achieve a clear understanding of the relevant facts, risks and benefits involved.

Diana Landau M.D., M.P.H., received her medical degree in Buenos Aires, Argentina, along with specializations in General Pediatrics and Neonatology. Later on she got her Master's in Public Health' degree in San Diego State University and a Certificate in Translation (Eng-Spa) from the University of California San Diego.

She has translated a wide variety of medical and pharmaceutical texts in the last 25 years. She is the Co-Founder and CFO of Transmark, Inc., a company that provides medical and pharmaceutical translation, as well as editing and proofreading of Health Care texts.
