Sworn translation in Sant Joan d'Alacant / San Juan de Alicante

Sant Joan d'Alacant (San Juan de Alicante in Castilian) concentrates two key infrastructures of the metropolitan area: the San Juan University Hospital, the reference hospital for several health departments of the province, and the UMH Sant Joan Campus, home of the Miguel Hernández University's Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Pharmacy. Along with those two infrastructures, the city is one of the residential lungs of the Alicante metropolitan belt, with a significant presence of healthcare professionals and a British community in residential areas.

The sworn translations most frequently received from Sant Joan reflect that profile: healthcare documentation (MIR/EIR qualifications, equivalences of foreign medical specialties, certificates of services rendered), UMH-Medicine files (Erasmus, international PhDs) and residence and property procedures. Fully online service, physical copy by courier within 1-2 business days when needed.

The most common procedures for our clients in Sant Joan d'Alacant:

• Homologation of foreign medical degrees (Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Physiotherapy).
• Equivalence of medical and nursing specialties (MIR/EIR) obtained outside Spain.

The San Juan University Hospital and the UMH Faculty of Medicine together generate a very specific sworn-translation flow: foreign healthcare professionals —doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, physiotherapists— homologating their degrees or validating their specialty to join the Spanish health system. Each of those files includes a university degree, certification of specialty (consultant, registrar, fellowship…), employment record, certificates of services rendered and criminal record from the country of origin. It is a type of documentation we know well: clinical terminology and the names of specialties must be respected as the Spanish Ministry recognises them.
