Summary:
This free webinar will be a summary of interactive three hour workshops series designed to provide participants with a broad knowledge of English medical terminology.
Description
This Free webinar is an official trailer of a four series webinar course.
This 4-part workshop will present human anatomy from the perspective of a pharmaceutical/medical translator. We will look at each organ system in minute detail and even at a microscopic level. We will also look at the various pathologies for each organ system commonly studied during clinical trials at the microscopic level. Then we will look at the pharmacokinetics (the effect of the body on the drug) and supposed mechanism(s) of action for these drugs. For instance, sulfonylureas are used to manage type 2 diabetes. But, how do they do this at a microscopic level? It is important for pharmaceutical/medical translators to understand this type of information because it occurs frequently in clinical trial documentation.
Target audience
Translators new to the medical field.
Translators considering specializing in medicine.
Learning objectives
Students will learn how to analyze and understand English medical terminology. These are invaluable skills for translators specializing (or wish to specialize) in the medical field.

"I think the topic was very well summarised and presented. On a clear and precise way with the mentio..." Read morening of the words specifical for the subject."
"It was a nice surprise for me because I expected a presentation focused on grammar-related aspects, ..." Read morebut in fact it turned out to be a presentation rich in medical terminology. I learnt new terms and I will try to establish their correspondent in my native language. In my opinion, the rest of the course should also deal with tricky medical words, derivation (meaning of medical suffixes and prefixes) and other things that raise difficulties. Thank you very much for the Power Point presentation and for the list of resources handed out."
