When you are thinking of medical translation, you probably imagine only the translation of a patient’s medical records or instructions for drug products. We can say it is a true statement, but not a correct one. Medical translation is more complicated than you think. It is like a tree: with a number of branches. Let us define what are the most popular types of medical translation.
Patient Documents
The Patient Documents are documents related to the patient’s data. The documents are often stored in clinics or other healthcare facilities. These are the following documents:
- Medical records,
- Certificates
- Legal documents and etc.
Clinical Trials
This type of medical documentation is widely used in pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical companies conduct clinical trials. Their aim is to make sure that the drug product is safe for use. The documents are the following:
- Investigator’s Brochure
- Case Report Form
- Dossiers
- Informed Consent Forms
- Patient’s Brochure and etc.
Academic papers
These types include publications in academic medical journals. Scientists publish their works in the world’s academic medical journals. That is why the need for researchers to translate their works into English grows.
Medical devices
