This two-part webinar series on cancer genetics, designed for experienced interpreters, is an adaptation of a five-hour course developed by veteran interpreter trainer Cindy Roat and UCSF anthropologist Dr. Galen Joseph as part of a pioneering program at UCSF to help cancer genetic counselors communicate more effectively with their patients. The first webinar focuses on an introduction to genetics in general and cancer genetics in particular. The second webinar engages the learners in exercises to master cancer genetics vocabulary. Bilingual glossaries in English, Spanish, Cantonese and Russian are made available to registered participants for free download.
