Master the Basics of Interpreting in the Pharmaceutical Industry in One Hour!

The process for creating new drugs is generally: Drug development > Non-clinical studies > Clinical studies > Approval > Market launch > Sales. As a very high degree of specialized knowledge is required at each stage, this is a sector where entry as an interpreter is difficult without some experience.

In this session, based on the column Interpreting in the Pharmaceutical Industry on the JACI website, and while giving an overview of each of the pharmaceutical manufacturing stages, by grasping keywords in both Japanese and English, I will make it possible for you to master the basics of interpreting in the pharmaceutical industry in one hour. I will be delighted if you would participate, whether you have no interpreting experience in the pharmaceutical industry or if you are someone with experience who would like an overall review of interpreting in this sector.
