Synopsis:

Prepare for national medical certification! This unique handbook is not just a list of terminology: it is a practical study guide. This book supports the one-day workshop, Medical Terminology for Interpreters, offered by Cross-Cultural Communications since 2007, yet it can be used for independent study of medical terminology. It is especially helpful for interpreters who choose to study in pairs. This publication includes: - Tables and activities that cover Greek and Latin roots and affixes - Medical specialties - Six body systems (with some anatomy, physiology and diagrams) - Diseases, disorders and symptoms - Test and procedures - Medical abbreviations – and more! Spanish translations are provided for most terms and activities in the handbook. However, this publication is intended for all interpreters as long as English is one of their working languages. As an added bonus, supplementary materials include: Appendix 1: Glossary of Greek and Latin Roots and Affixes Appendix 2: Answer
