Description

"Getting information off the internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant." (Mitchell Kapor, n.d.).

Medical concepts and terminology can be very confusing for the uninitiated interpreter or translator.

This book will allow interpreters and translators to quickly read up on healthcare settings, familiarizing themselves with anatomy, physiology, medical terminology and frequently encountered conditions, investigations and treatment options.

Health translators working on medical reports will be able to find commonly used abbreviations.

Those who have been asked to translate health information material into community languages will be able to gain a good basic overview of related background information and crosscultural issues.

Those who teach health interpreters or translators will find this book helpful for structuring their curriculum.

Information is presented in a consistent, logical and informative manner, intended to support, rather than overwhelm.Crezee was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to interpreter and translator education in the 2020 New Year Honours list.
