This workshop discusses patterns on the EIPA from a national database of EIPA scores. Attendees will receive a tool for comparing their score with these patterns to see where their skills are comparatively strong, and where they are comparatively weak relative to other interpreters at their skill level. Attendees will leave the workshop with a better grasp of what their EIPA scores mean and specific steps that can be taken toward personal professional development.
