Zoominar 0900: Pulmonology – “More Than Just A Normal Respiratory Infection”

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 “More Than Just A Normal Respiratory Infection”:

Babette is not aware of it yet, but her cough, fever, chest pain, and sweating are much more serious than she thought. Babette is accompanied by her parents, who in their zeal to protect their daughter cause considerable interference with the Doctor and Interpreter alike. Babette’s family is from south Asia. The doctor orders a chest X-Ray at the office and the results lead him to an alarming conclusion. The interpreter must deal with the tension between the doctor and Babette’s parents’ difficult medication names and other surprises.

This role play is rated Level Intermediate 2 as to the difficulty and has some special challenges for the Interpreter. 3.0 CEU
