One of my favorite events this semester was definitely the UCSF interpretation workshop, as it was my first time attending it even though it's my fourth year in the club!. I really enjoyed being able to interact with professional medical and pharmacy students who were able to interpret healthcare scenarios with ease and great judgment. During this event, I believe I was able to incorporate many important cultural aspects of medicine from a Japanese perspective and thought the event ran especially well. Attending this event also helped me work on my Japanese skills in order to effectively interpret in a doctor-patient scenario. Even though the event was virtual, I believe it has motivated me to keep working on my Japanese medical terminology Sso I will be even more ready for the next time I interpret for a patient. Hopefully, my next appointment will be in-person!
