What certificates do you need to take in medical translation?

TEM-8 is required for English majors, or CET-6 or above for medical majors such as clinical medicine, pharmacy and biomedicine, which is the basic entry-level threshold.

1. The other is to practice more and gain more experience in translating clinical and pharmaceutical comprehensive documents, laws and regulations, registered documents, PPT documents, scheme descriptions, documents and other Chinese-English translations.

2. If you want to be a senior medical translator, you can enter such well-known big companies as Huaye International, Kang Maofeng and RWS, which specialize in medical translation, and improve yourself with the help of the translation unit of CAT translation platform.

3. The professionalism of medical translation is very strong, but there is no special certificate of medical translation in China. Many people have taken the CATTI translation certificate, but the content of this examination is more political and economic, and the examination of medical professionalism is not so high, so it is not a necessary certificate. Of course, having CATTI is the best. After all, it is an intuitive proof of strength and also a talk during the interview.

4. The demand for medical translation in the market is very high. Generally, people who have experience in translation companies or do well in the trial translation of interviews have the opportunity to be hired. English majors need to have TEM-8 certificates, and non-English majors (clinical medicine, pharmacy, biology, nursing and other majors) need to have CET-6 certificates or IELTS scores.
