I appreciate your cooperation.

I don't think there would be many certificates specifically for medical/pharmaceutical translation; rather, I think the approach would be to get a translation certificate (perhaps with a subsection such as technical/medical/scientific translation) and either specialise or obtain a degree or other certificate in medicine/pharmaceutical/life science.

Hi Patricia,
I'm interested too, but it seems to be directed only at interpreters; found nothing about translation...isn't so?

Yes, that certification is only for interpreters. I've found nothing about certified medical translators nowhere (besides the normal medical translation courses around the world).
Annavaneska1: to study Medicine and work as a translator doesn't mean that you are a certified medical translator. But thanks for the link.
Kind regards.
