Trying to specialise in the medical field, I find that there are particular areas that are more in demand, and generate most of my work. E.g.
- Radiography reports
- Oncology
- Heart pathologies
I would therefore be very interested in taking courses to learn more about these specific issues.

Does anyone know if such things exist (short courses focussing on such a specific area of medicine), or perhaps whether universities allow students to take just one module of a more general course (e.g. a medical degree)?
I am UK based.

| Why not contact your local medical school and ask! | May 1, 2009 |
Hi Wendy,
I don't know about specific courses, but I would have though most universities would be prepared to let you sit in on a relevant lecture provided there's space in the theatre - why not contact your local medical school and ask?
You could also look out for public lectures on the subjects you're interested in - try http://open-lecture.net/index.php

Do you want work as a
1. Translator of a patient's documents to elicit admission data, clinical reports, medical records, etc.?
or
2. On-scene or over-the-phone interpreter?
If # 2, you might take available courses and pursue other methods for learning the protocols, clinical procedures, and vocabularies for these high-volume practice areas:
A. Patient admission, screening and initial assessment, esp. the patient's personal and family medical history and the patient's description of the particular complaint or injury which caused him or her to present for treatment
B. Emergency Room/trauma center/"urgent care" facilities
------------------------
You might also query the general hospitals and private clinics near you about [1] what parts of their operations routinely or likely require the services of a translator or an interpreter and [2] how do they find & obtain those services when needed.
Some larger hospitals (and a few private specialty clinics) in the US and Canada tend to use on-call service contracts with language services firms, rather than rely on independent practitioners.
A few other hospitals (i.e., Cedars Sinai Med Ctr in Los Angeles) which service large numbers of L2 patients have in-house language services units, usually managed & operated by the HR department.
Hope this helps you focus your time and effort for research and training.
Regards,

| I think there's a real gap in the market | May 1, 2009 |
regarding courses in medical translation. I would do one like a shot, but the only thing I can find is the MSc at Imperial, which is very intensive, very expensive and has a much broader remit than just medical translation.

| CDs and websites | Oct 8, 2010 |
Many CDs available in markets on medical subjects and websites of health institutions are my good resources e.g. on anatomy, AIDS, cancer. I also attended many medical symposiums and academic presentations.
