Interactions with Mentor Interpreters

CLICK HERE TO WATCH A VIDEOTAPED MENTORING SESSION!

Each quarter the students are paired with a new ASL mentor interpreter. ASL Fellows engage in 10 hours of mentorship activities during their eight-week elective curriculum. They discuss:

  • deaf culture
  • ethical issues that can occur between their Deaf patients and doctors
  • interpreters’ roles, strengths, and limitations
  • the difference between ASL and English
