Fernando A. Navarro, a Spanish medical doctor who is one of the most distinguished translators and lexicographers today, will join us for a 3-day workshop series composed of six of his most popular training workshops.

This learning event will include translation theory and practice (plenty of it, with real texts), medical terminology, Greco-Latin word roots, pharmaceutical names, false friends, terms with multiple meanings, and much more!

Mr. Navarro, the author of the famous and invaluable Diccionario crítico de dudas inglés-español de medicina (best known as El libro rojo) and the recently launched Medicina en español, will contrast English and Spanish medical terminology, and will discuss the best usage of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries.

This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn from this excellent trainer in his first visit to the west coast of the United States. Don’t miss it!
