Medical translation is often seen as a rigid, technical discipline, but creativity plays a crucial role in ensuring clarity, accuracy, and cultural relevance. This presentation explores how human intuition, linguistic adaptability, and creative problem-solving help bridge language gaps in healthcare, complementing the precision required in medical texts.

We will examine best practices for handling terminology gaps, cultural adaptation, and patient-facing content while maintaining a healthy respect for accuracy. The session will highlight key skills that enhance creative medical translation, the impact of AI and translation tools, and why the human touch remains irreplaceable in breaking language barriers.
