Lost in Translation: Breaking the Clinical Trials Language Barrier

In this episode, freelance medical translator Ana Sofia Correia joins us to discuss the need for translation in clinical trials. She explains the risks if clinical trial material is biased towards English-speaking populations and the need for cultural sensitivity when translating content into local languages. Ana Sofia also reflects on the benefits AI could have on the industry and for translators.
