This course is for all Interpreters who would like to learn more about cancer. During the session, you will hear from professionals and interpreters servicing in the cancer space. This is an opportunity to learn more about cancer, cancer terminology, how to approach challenging situations interpreters face such as: delivering bad news, navigating family meetings, interpreting in palliative care and in environments where Voluntary Assisted Dying is being discussed.

- To increase your familiarity and confidence with interpreting for chemotherapy education sessions
- To understand the role of the interpreter in discussions related to Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD)
- To increase knowledge about clinical trials, including the contents of consent forms and plain language statements, thus enhancing ability to effectively interpret during these conversations
