Description

Learning Medical Terminology can seem like a daunting task at first. It could, in fact, be like learning a whole other language. In reality, memorising all of the words in a medical dictionary may prove to be impossible. Do not fear! There is a simple way to learn and understand Medical Terminology. Most words are simply a combination of different parts or elements. In this workshop, you will learn the common roots, prefixes, and suffixes of medical terminology and how to use this knowledge to help you navigate complicated medical language for your interpreting and translating assignments. This workshop is designed for new interpreters and translators and experienced interpreters and translators looking to refresh their knowledge of medical terminology. The workshop includes a Medical Terminology workbook, including a glossary that you can take home.

Research Skills and Building Glossaries

10 points
PD Certificate

Description

Higher-order research and preparation skills are essential requirements for interpreters working in the community as they are ethically bound to “undertake appropriate preparations for all assignments” (AUSIT, 2012). Interpreters at all levels of certification are expected to use a variety of tools and methods to search for information, including some specialist resources, and to extract and manage complex information from research and apply it to the interpreting process (NAATI). Interpreters must also understand specialist terms and be able to interpret them into appropriate target language equivalents in order to achieve accuracy.

It is therefore crucial that interpreters know how to prepare for assignments, are competent in building specialist glossaries and able to maintain them throughout their career. This online course aims to assist interpreters in enhancing their assignment preparation strategies, which include obtaining relevant information prior to the assignment, researching the specialist domain using reputable resources and seeking a detailed briefing on the day of the assignment. We will also discuss the benefits of building your own glossaries and explore the process of compiling a comprehensive glossary. We will put it all into practice by building a sample medical glossary for a cardiology appointment.

This course is suitable for interpreters working in community settings at the RPI, CPI and CI level, who wish to develop their research and glossary building skills.
