 AUSIT NAT Presents

Ethics for Medical Interpreters Series (2 of 2):
Advanced Ethical Decision-Making

Webinar Via Zoom

Monday 28 October 2024

6.00 pm - 8.00 pm AEDT



Registrations close 11:59 pm, 26 October 2024


This webinar assists interpreters in developing high-order decision-making skills for resolving complex ethical dilemmas in medical settings. It is aimed at experienced interpreters who already have sound knowledge of the AUSIT Code of Ethics.

In medical settings, interpreters often find themselves in challenging situations involving complex human interaction. In order to handle these challenges professionally, interpreters require not only sound knowledge of the Code of Ethics but also fast situational judgement and high-order decision-making skills.

In this webinar, we will look at true ethical dilemmas involving “at least two possible, but competing, ethically appropriate courses of action” (Kidder, 1995, in Hoza). We will invite interpreters to reflect on professional practice challenges in medical settings, and offer an opportunity to enhance their problem-solving skills.

The following topics are included:

  • Deontological (rules-based) and teleological (goal-based) approach to ethics
  • Professional decision-making models including Demand-Control Schema
  • Considering the context and consequences of actions while making a decision
  • Applying decision making skills to complex medical interpreting scenarios
  • Best practice strategies for making ethical decisions.

If you would like to register for this event but missed part one, you can purchase the recorded webinar "Ethics for Medical Interpreters Series (1 of 2) - Ethics Foundations" from our webstore here in preparation.
