Teaching and continuing education
Translator training
After teaching in private industry for eight years, Karen Leube joined the faculty of the University of Heidelberg’s Institute for Translation and Interpreting (IÜD) in 1992. At the IÜD, she offered courses on biomedical technology in cooperation with local hospitals and research institutions, in addition to numerous courses focusing on German-English translation, translation theory, and translating as a profession. Since leaving the IÜD in 2004, she has taught continuing education courses for translators and interpreters, including the BDÜ Baden-Württemberg’s series “Anatomy for Medical Translators.” Karen Leube was on the faculty at the University of Mainz (FTSK) in Germersheim from October 2008 to April 2010.
English and German courses for health professionals
As a native speaker of English with years of experience in the classroom and handling medical texts, I have had the privilege of helping future health professionals, such as the Physician Assistants enrolled at the DHBW Karlsruhe.
Please read my blog post entitled “Teaching Medical Language: More Than Words” about teaching German to foreign nurses in Germany.
I also offer customized language courses for health professionals, including the courses below:
■ Medical English for Physicians
■ Medical English for Nurses
■ English for Laboratory Personnel
■ Deutsch als Fremdsprache für Medizin und Pflege
Translation Workshops “Anatomy for Translators”
Karen Leube was the coordinator and workshop facilitator for the BDÜ Baden-Wüttemberg’s eight-part series for medical translators “Medizinische Übersetzungen: Die Sicht des Anatomen.” The weekend seminars combined morning anatomy lectures by a professor of anatomy, clinical lectures and demonstrations by experts from a variety of institutions and afternoon translation workshops in which related texts were translated from German to English and English to German (facilitated by Karen Leube and Renate Chestnut).
