Medizinische Übersetzer*innen und Dolmetscher*innen werden sowohl im klinischen als auch im wirtschaftlichen Bereich benötigt. Normalerweise müssen sie einen Studienabschluss in Übersetzung oder in Fremdsprachen mit Spezialisierung Medizin nachweisen können, aber es gibt auch zweisprachige Mediziner*innen, welche im medizinischen Bereich als Übersetzer*innen oder Dolmetscher*innen arbeiten. Ein*e Dolmetscher*in übersetzt in Echtzeit Konversationen oder gesprochene Aussagen, während ein*e Übersetzer*in mit Dokumenten und schriftlichen Berichten arbeitet. Henter & Asociados fokussiert auf die Arbeit als Übersetzer.
Medizinische Dolmetscher*innen arbeiten üblicherweise in
– Zahnarztpraxen
– ambulanten Pflegeeinrichtungen
– Spitälern
– Zentren für medizinische Bildgebung
– psychiatrischen Kliniken
– Pflegeheimen und Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen
– Arztpraxen und Gruppenarztpraxen
– chirurgischen Kliniken
Medizinische Übersetzer*innen sind normalerweise auf ein bestimmtes Feld spezialisiert (zum Beispiel pharmazeutische Forschung, medizinische Geräte, medizinische Veröffentlichungen, Gesundheitswesen et cetera) und können verantwortlich sein für die Übersetzung von:
– Anwendungen, Apps
– Klinische Studiendokumentationen
– Gebrauchsanweisungen für medizinische Geräte
– pharmakologische Anweisungen
– ärztliche Diagnosen
– Berichte
– schriftliche Patienteninformationen
Nebst der nötigen linguistischen Ausbildung ist auch ein tieferes Verständnis von spezifischer medizinischer Terminologie unabdingbar. In einigen Staaten gibt es explizite Verfahren, um medizinische Übersetzer*in oder Dolmetscher*in zu werden. In den USA beispielsweise kann man sich vom National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters zertifizieren lassen. In Europa bieten einige Universitäten Spezialisationen während des Studienganges oder Langzeitprogramme an. Hier sind einige Beispiele in Europa:
– Universitat Jaume I, Barcelona
– Barcelona School of Management, Barcelona
– Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Lyon
– University College London, London
Das Programm „Bridging the Gap“ beinhaltet einen 40-stündigen Einführungskurs an verschiedenen Orten sowohl in den USA als auch international. Der Kurs wird vom Cross Cultural Health Care Program organisiert. Organisationen wie IMIA, Tremédica oder EMWAinformieren auch über offizielle und weiterführende Ausbildungen.
Wenn es an Ihrem Wohnort keine offizielle Möglichkeit gibt, sich zertifizieren zu lassen, oder Sie bereits zertifiziert sind, sich aber selbst in Ihrem Fachgebiet weiterbilden möchten, könnten Sie an den folgenden Möglichkeiten interessiert sein, die Sie online und kostenlos nutzen können:
