medical English for interpreters

Hi everybody,

I'm a free lance conference interpreter and would like to specialize in the medical field to work in hospitals, ERs, surgeries etc. In Italy where I live and work it seems quite hard to find the write ESP courses and the ad hoc bibliography (dialogue doctor/patient, medical phrases, ect). Do you have any suggestions or hints?

thanks a lot

Monica

An excellent book for those learning medical terminology is "The Language of Medicine," by Chabner.

Here's a link to it on amazon.com:
