CHIA'S Ethical Decision-Making Process for Medical Interpreters IN ACTION (Scenario 2) FULL VERSION

Tired of hearing Kelly talk so much? There's a shorter version of this video available here:    • CHIA'S Ethical Decision-Making Proces...  

Now that we know all about the California Healthcare Interpreting Association's (CHIA) ethical decision-making process for healthcare interpreters, let's put it to good use! (Please note that scenario 1 is discussed in the class I teach about the ethical decision-making process and does not have its own video).

In this scenario, the patient you’re interpreting for begins cursing at the doctor because they’re upset with their medical treatment. They don’t call the doctor any names, but they use a lot of profanity to express how upset they are.

I know we're eager to consider what we'd do in this situation, but for the purpose of this exercise, we're going to engage in CHIA's ethical decision-making process to determine the best course of action. This is a great way for us as medical interpreters to look at our actions under a microscope and determine the best course of action using a standardized process!
