The event was opened by introducing our speakers to the participant by the MC and closed by the appreciation to our speakers and trainers.
Zoom meeting about about how to do Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia (BISINDO)
After the talk show, we did a pretest to measure participants’ knowledge about BISINDO. Then proceed to the training of BISINDO. It was fun and most of the participants were very enthusiastic to follow the instruction of the trainer. As the training was over, we did an anamnesis role play with the deaf by the participants and DPD GERKATIN Aceh. Due to the short period of time, unfortunately, we only did role play for one participant then shared the post-test to the participant’s group.
Zoom session ended with group photo
With the end of BTS, we hope that the participants who take part in this event can increase their concern about the deaf in our society and the future doctor can communicate with deaf patients. Hopefully, the information provided in this event can be useful.
