Online Workshop: Medical Terminology II for Spanish Interpreters/Bilingual Staff

In celebration of International Translation Day (September 30), InterpretingAcademy.com is offering a scholarship (worth $50) to attend this 3 hour online live workshop.

When: Tuesday, October 11, 2022

Time: 5:30 – 8:30 PM MST

Are you ready for the medical certification? Are you confident with your medical terms? Join us to learn more about medical terminology and comply with our code of ethics, accuracy, and completeness.

If you ask a medical interpreter about his or her biggest challenge, perhaps the most common answer you’ll hear is “medical terminology.” There are many reasons, for example:

• The vast number of medical terms can seem overwhelming.
• Many different medical specialties use their own vocabulary.
• Several medical terms are high-register and therefore difficult to understand, even in English.
• Health care uses many abbreviations.
• Medical terms often derive from Latin and Greek, making them unfamiliar to those without formal education in the health or allied health professions.
• Many medical terms have no exact equivalent in the target language.

Objective: Develop skills for overcoming challenges in medical terminology.

(a) Discuss basic terms for tests and procedures. Also, we will be reviewing acronyms used in the medical field.

(b) List and compare strategies and resources for learning additional medical terminology.

c) Let’s talk about pain.
