While preparing for my postpartum care webinar, I came across a helpful resource on newborn screening from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It answers common questions and includes information about genetic testing by state.

https://www.acog.org/womens-health/experts-and-stories/the-latest/8-common-questions-about-newborn-screening-tests

It’s also available in Spanish, which makes it a strong resource if you’re preparing for an exam or getting ready for a postpartum encounter.

If you prefer to learn in a classroom setting and appreciate resources like this, join us this Saturday for a 4-hour performance-based webinar on interpreting for postpartum care.

Two of my good friends, Joanna and Brianna, share their postpartum care journeys to put what we learn into context.

You will get:
-Access to the recording
-PDF of slides
-Certificate of attendance
-200-word postpartum care glossary in EN/ES and EN/LOTE
-Performance-based interpreter training

I believe in being the change you want to see in healthcare interpreting.

Every day I worked as a medical interpreter, I came home knowing I made a difference. Healthcare interpreting is my calling. The work that is done to preserve a patient’s autonomy and voice while navigating a complex healthcare system in another language is incredibly difficult.

What stands out to me is that sometimes, the work I did outside of interpreting messages, sharing institutional and cultural knowledge, reading body language, and showing compassion in moments of anguish, were the most valuable parts of my work.

These are the tasks I refer to as “hidden.”

It is time to shine a spotlight on them and share more about the work healthcare interpreters do every day to promote language access.

I am currently conducting a research study on how interpreters support communication and patient care beyond language interpretation, and I am looking for perspectives from three groups:

Medical interpreters:

Healthcare providers:
https://forms.gle/C5EvC8q4hvtGM5CS6

Spanish-speaking patients:
https://forms.gle/tuBt7yauykpCVRvX7

Each survey takes about 20 minutes and will be open for 3 weeks.

If you are part of one of these groups, I would truly value your participation. If not, I would appreciate you sharing this with your networks.

I wanted to share a quick heads up.

Today is the last day to get the Language Pharmacy Bundle at $119 before the price increases.

These courses were all delivered live last year, with interpreters working through real clinical scenarios, terminology challenges, and decision-making in the moment.

Now, it’s all available on demand.

Inside the bundle:
• 12 on-demand courses (12 CEUs)
• Medication terminology across specialties
• Real patient scenarios and interpreting practice
• 200-term glossaries for each specialty (EN/SP + EN/LOTE)

“Marisa's enthusiasm about medical interpreting is absolutely contagious… Her lessons are engaging, full of practical tips, and make the work feel relevant and purposeful.”
— Claudia, Spanish Interpreter

If you have been looking for a way to build confidence with medications and specialty encounters, this was designed for that.

Today is the final day at this price.
