Modern medicine is making fascinating advances every day, most of them on a global scale. Expert translations are essential to ensure quick transfer from R&D to market.
Healthcare professionals use a language of their own. It takes familiarity with widely used abbreviations derived from multiple sources to provide accurate translations of patient reports, discharge notes, laboratory reports and surgical summaries. Translators working in the U.S. also have to comply with HIPAA regulations to ensure the privacy of health information.
At the same time, medical translators have to stay informed about the latest development in medical technology and have in-depth knowledge of medical device regulations in multiple countries to competently render materials such as Instructions for Use (IFUs) as well as intellectual property materials for newly invented devices.
