Interpreting Cardiology for Spanish Interpreters 

This 6-hour workshop will cover essential terminology of the heart and circulatory system in English and Spanish. We will study terms associated with the anatomy and function of the cardiovascular system, as well as the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. There will be ample opportunities to review and practice the material through written exercises and oral practice. This workshop will help you gain a deeper understanding of the function of the heart, and increase your ability to interpret the terminology related to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders. This is an excellent training for medical interpreters, both experienced and new, as well as court interpreters who may encounter these terms in their work.

 Joe Tein is a DSHS-certified medical interpreter and a Washington State certified court interpreter. He holds a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and is also a freelance medical translator, working from Spanish and Italian into English. Mr. Tein is the creator of the Washington State AOC Court Interpreters’ English-Spanish glossary of legal terms and is the second author of the most comprehensive Italian medical acronym website (www.gilbertolacchia.it/acromed.pdf). He has taught numerous classes and workshops for medical and court interpreters over the years, both in person and through online webinars. A participant in a recent class wrote, “Joe has a way of teaching a lot of material in an interesting manner that keeps the students engaged.”
