“Is There Anything I Can Eat?”

What is a Role Play? As used in this context, a Role Play is a reenactment of a medical appointment wherein only the doctor, patient (and other players, if applicable) have a script. The Interpreter does NOT have any script and will interpret between the doctor and patient using English and the native language of the patient. The class is broken down into groups called “breakout rooms” according to the native language of the patient. There are at least 3 ‘players’ in each breakout room (excluding the Instructor who rotates among the different breakout rooms and offers advice/answers questions, as needed).

A middle-aged woman is devastated by the news that she has STAGE 4 KIDNEY FAILURE. Although she, her 5 children, and husband have known about her diabetes for some time, she is completely unprepared for this unfortunate news. The Nephologist orders several tests and sends in her dietician to assist with diet preparation and instruction. The dietician explains what foods the patient is to avoid, which is much more extensive than the patient had expected. Although the dietician has given some recommendations, most of her instruction was a list of what the patient CANNOT consume, leaving the patient feeling depressed and oppressed. The Interpreter faces a series of challenges, some situational and others technical. This Role-Play is categorized as ADVANCED 2, and receives 3.0 CEU, CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE.
