Abstract
This paper aims at exploring new methodologies to make the practice of medical translation more interesting and stimulating for language students. It is based on two third year courses held at the University of Parma (Italy), for undergraduates reading modern languages. The courses made great use of audio-visual materials, which translate intersemiotically and often, intralinguistically, the language used in specialized domains. The original and dubbed versions of some of the most popular television series whose focus is, precisely, the language of medicine (namely House M.D. and Scrubs) were the basis for a series of activities aimed at helping students approach the study of medical translation for the first time.
