Description
This Free webinar is an official trailer of a four series webinar course.

This 4-part workshop will present human anatomy from the perspective of a pharmaceutical/medical translator. We will look at each organ system in minute detail and even at a microscopic level. We will also look at the various pathologies for each organ system commonly studied during clinical trials at the microscopic level. Then we will look at the pharmacokinetics (the effect of the body on the drug) and supposed mechanism(s) of action for these drugs. For instance, sulfonylureas are used to manage type 2 diabetes. But, how do they do this at a microscopic level? It is important for pharmaceutical/medical translators to understand this type of information because it occurs frequently in clinical trial documentation.

Target audience
Translators new to the medical field.
Translators considering specializing in medicine.
Learning objectives
Students will learn how to analyze and understand English medical terminology. These are invaluable skills for translators specializing (or wish to specialize) in the medical field.
