SOAP Notes and Medical Charts: The Nitty Gritty of Medical Reports
Course summary
Description Progress notes and patient records are the medical translator’s bread and butter—but this does not prevent even the most seasoned medical translators from getting burnt. We will take a closer look at the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) format to understand how doctors think. We will use the tool to understand why “BS” could mean “blood sugar,” “breath sounds,” or “bowel sounds”, and we will build a kit of multilingual resources for the review of systems, lab reports, etc. Finally, we will address capturing succinct source-language style in a translation that is meaningful and not unduly conservative. At the end of this session, participants will be able: To identify the structure and language used in SOAP notes and medical charts. To dissect each section to identify essential terminology and acronyms. To build a set of language-specific and medical resources to negotiate technical terminology. To replicate the style and voice of healthcare professionals in your medical translations. Training program: Using structure to target terminology and acronyms Target audience Translators already specialising in medical translation. Translators considering crossing over into medical translation. Terminologists who want to expand their medical knowledge.
