“Lupus is not going to get the better of me!!”

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).

Here is a summary of this particular Role Play called ““LUPUS IS NOT GOING TO GET THE BETTER OF ME!!”: Intermittent rashes, fatigue, hand pain, shoulder pain, swollen feet, fever, headache, failing memory, thinning and loss of hair leads a 38-year-old woman to attend an appointment referral with a Rheumatologist.  Her mother accompanies her to the appointment.  It becomes apparent that the mother is more interested in herself than in her daughter.  It comes to light that the young woman’s toenails are cracking, splitting and even falling off.  The doctor suspects Lupus and is prepared to explain why.  The Interpreter faces complicated medical terminology and other difficult terminology, plus a mother who is constantly interrupting.  There are several uses of acronyms. CLASSIFIED AS AN ADVANCED 2 ROLE PLAY for 3.0  CEU.
