“ONCOLOGY-LIVER CANCER – CAN IT BE CURED?”

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 “ONCOLOGY-LIVER CANCER – CAN IT BE CURED?”: The oncologist and patient seem to be at odds as to the patient’s true condition. The oncologist changes to a lower register so the patient can understand but afterwards, reverts back to a higher register, causing confusion in the mind of the patient. Toward the end of the interview the oncologist seems to have finally found the correct register.

This Role-Play is rated INTERMEDIATE 3 for 3.0 CEU primarily due to the use of difficult medical terminology. Both the beginner interpreter, as well as the advanced, will find a good share of challenges.
