Sample interview questions
I have translated adverse event reports, clinical study protocols, and safety data sheets for several pharmaceutical companies. I ensure accuracy in medical terminology and adherence to regulatory guidelines such as ICH and FDA requirements.
I review MT output for errors in terminology, grammar, and style, correcting to match the source meaning while maintaining natural English. I use CAT tools to leverage translation memories and glossaries to ensure consistency.
I prioritize tasks, set milestones, and communicate early if issues arise. I also use TMs and glossaries to speed up repetitive content, and I always double-check critical terms.

I once translated a complex clinical trial report with ambiguous Farsi medical terms. I researched the terms using reliable medical dictionaries and consulted with a subject matter expert to ensure the correct interpretation was applied.
