  translators, interpreters and bilingual providers
  is to know and understand the terminology used by
  health care professionals. It is necessary that
  they are familiar with the words basic
  components in English as much as in their second
  language.

  about the basic components of English medical
  terminology, and how to use them to construct the
  meaning of such medical terminology. The program
  introduces most common prefixes and suffixes, as
  well as roots that are related to the human
  anatomy. In addition, this intensive workshop
  facilitates an overview of the main human
  biological systems and common conditions,
  diagnostic procedures and treatment that relate
  with them.
