Medical and Language Resources

¡Hola! Welcome to my resource page. 

Here, I have organized resources I work or have worked with that I find useful and reliable. They are organized in a somewhat logical order so I hope you can find what you are looking for.

Science and languages change constantly, so there may be a link that I have not included yet or the included link may be broken. In either case, feel free to contact me at info@blueurpi.com and let me know. 

I hope this page helps fellow translators and interpreters. 

Best,

Gloria
