Deaf MD: A Resource for Deaf People and For Hearing Interpreters

March 2, 2009

Like many bloggers, I’ve been too busy with my own life to post as much as I intended to when I first started this blog. I wanted this blog to be an interesting and informative resource for Sign Language Interpreting students and a place for me to connect with Deaf people whose blogs and vlogs I visit on a regular basis. 

But…well, you know how it is. Anyway, while I was looking up local Deaf events, hoping to find a Silent Movie event, I found a link to this really awesome website: DeafMD.org.

  • Interpreters can use it to brush up on medical vocabulary if they are interested in ever entering the field of medical interpreting (which would be really neat for me to do since my husband is a doctor).
  •  It is great for Deaf individuals who need better explanations about their health issues than what their doctors can provide. 
  • It can also be used to search for Deaf friendly doctors in one’s area. (Unfortunately, my state is not on their. Perhaps, when my husband is finished with his residency program and is finally working on his own as a doctor, we can add his name to the list!)
