Sample Presentation Topics Include But Are NOT Limited To:
The Importance of the Code of Professional Conduct
“The Code or Professional Conduct doesn’t apply to me as a student…right?! How about as a volunteer?” Good questions! In this workshop we will analyze the CPC and discuss its practical applications as a student and as a professional interpreter.

Ethics in Religious Settings
“Does being a volunteer interpreter at my church make me immune to ethical standards?” “Is it okay that tell other people about my Deaf client’s prayer requests to have others pray too?” In this workshop, we will take a look at the RID-NAD Code of Professional Conduct and its practical applications in religious settings. The line between interpreter and church member can be difficult to determine at times and we will explore that boundary. We will look at the individual tenets of the CPC and then we will apply those to specific situation in a small group setting.
Ethics in Education
So...a 2nd grade Deaf student just cussed his teacher out in front of the class. A high school history teacher wants to talk to you about the Deaf student in front of her but does not want you to interpret what is being said. A college professor asks you to run copies of the lecture right before class because she is answering homework questions. WHAT DO YOU DO??!! We will take an indepth look at the Code of Professional Conduct as well as laws where they apply to discuss possible courses of action in educational scenarios.
Ethics in Medical Settings
“What do I do if I disagree with the treatment proposed for a patient?” “What if I know the patient is lying about their medical history and it could cause them harm?” In this workshop, we will take a look at the RID-NAD Code of Professional Conduct and its practical applications in medical settings. We will look at the individual tenets of the CPC and then we will apply those to specific situation in a small group setting.
