Sample video from

Internal Discussions:

An Appointment in Cardiology

The following is sample video excerpts from the CD-ROM, Internal Discussions: An Appointment in Cardiology. (Video requires QuickTime - free download.) This CD is designed as a follow-up to STOMACH THIS! and represents an opportunity to apply understanding of the digestive system’s anatomy to interpreting an interaction in a clinical setting. In it, a Deaf patient and his wife go for an appointment with a cardiologist. The CD provides a systematic approach to dealing with a medical interaction, providing internet resources for preparation; formats for working both consecutively and simultaneously, as well as the chance to observe the actual interpretation created during filming. All of the video is fully accessible, including captions and transcripts, and is designed for use by both hearing and Deaf interpreters. (2003)

Earn CEUs:

A study packet, Steps to the Beat , is available to allow interpreters to work with this CD and To the Heart of the Matter to earn RID CEUs.
