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. Are you familiar with them?

Medical terms often derive from Latin and Greek, making them unfamiliar to those without formal education in the health or allied health professions. You will have a list of them in this class.

Many medical terms have no exact equivalent in the target language.

Medical terminology is essential for court, community, and medical interpreters. According to the Scientific Job Analysis conducted by the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) in 2009, the precision of an interpreter’s work in medical matters relies heavily on terminology.

This workshop will help interpreters understand medical terminology and develop strategies to interpret it correctly. Although no one can learn medical terminology in a day, the program provides valuable continuing education for anyone who interprets in hospitals, health departments, clinics, school health rooms, domestic violence/sexual assault services, crisis intervention, and court.
