In our brave new world of virtual health care, many interpreters, employers and providers around the country initially found themselves scrambling to set up the remote modalities of phone and video with little preparation time. What began as a rapid-response shift to providing healthcare services remotely has become a long-term strategy for delivering care to patients. As a result, healthcare interpreters are now called upon to provide services in remote modalities with increased frequency and across a broader spectrum of contexts than had, in many cases, been traditionally considered feasible. This shift has brought even greater attention to the need to train interpreters on how to provide services in remote modalities. In this presentation, trainers of healthcare interpreters will be presented with key points to consider when training interpreters in the use of remote modalities. Special attention will be given to the following areas: interpreter workspace, preventing on-the-job injuries, and strategies to identify and correct real-time barriers to effective communication during the interpreted medical encounter. Interpreter trainers will gain awareness of the importance of preparing interpreters to use remote modalities effectively and for the safety of themselves and the patient.
