Medical translators provide translation services to the health care industry.

For example, in the case of a Spanish patient in America who does not understand English and requires treatment. Among many other things, medical translation serves in easing the check-in process, getting accurate patient information for records, translation of existing medical records, medical histories, consent forms and insurance claims.
Medical translation services are also required by research labs that need translations of clinical research and trials, and for patents and licensing. Furthermore, manufacturers of medical equipment might require translation of catalogs, manuals, instructions for a multitude of foreign markets where different languages might dominate and the customers would need accurate translations so that they can understand the instructions.
