Usama S.

Greetings / خوش آمدید Hello! I'm Dr. Usama Saarim, an experienced professional translator and interpreter specializing in Dari, Farsi (Persian), Pashto, and English. As an MBBS graduate with extensive experience in professional language services, I bring together two areas that rarely come in the same package: native-level linguistic and cultural expertise combined with a strong medical background. I help clients communicate clearly and accurately in situations where language, cultural understanding, and precision genuinely matter - from medical and legal interpretation to immigration, education, humanitarian work, and professional translation. 🌐 Translation & Interpretation Services I provide professional services in: • English ↔ Dari (Afghan Persian/Farsi) • English ↔ Farsi (Iranian Persian) • English ↔ Pashto My services include: ✓ Document translation ✓ Medical and healthcare translation ✓ Legal and immigration translation ✓ Live remote interpretation (Zoom/OPI/VRI) ✓ Consecutive and simultaneous interpretation ✓ Transcription and translation ✓ Proofreading and editing ✓ Academic and educational content ✓ NGO, humanitarian, and refugee-related communication ✓ Business and professional communication ✓ Website and content localization My approach is always focused on meaning, context, tone, and cultural accuracy - not simply word-for-word translation. 🩺 Medical & Healthcare Expertise My medical education allows me to work confidently with complex healthcare terminology and sensitive medical communication. I have experience supporting communication involving: • Doctor–patient interactions • Medical consultations and clinical discussions • Interpretation of psychological evaluations and behavioural assessments • Healthcare documentation and content • Medical terminology and clinical concepts • Medical research and literature • Patient-centered and culturally sensitive communication As a HIPAA trained, I also understand the importance of medical confidentiality, professional boundaries, and accurate communication in healthcare environments. ⚖️ Legal, Immigration & Sensitive Interpretation I have extensive experience working with sensitive and high-stakes communication, including: • Legal consultations and proceedings • Immigration and asylum-related matters • Depositions and interviews • Official documents and certificates • Refugee and asylum seeker support • Human rights and humanitarian contexts These assignments require more than language fluency. They require accuracy, neutrality, confidentiality, cultural awareness, and the ability to remain composed under pressure. 🎧 Remote & Live Interpretation I am comfortable working professionally in remote and live environments, including: ✓ Zoom meetings ✓ Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) ✓ Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) ✓ Consecutive interpretation ✓ Simultaneous interpretation ✓ Depositions, interviews, workshops, and meetings I am accustomed to fast-paced environments and understand the importance of accurately conveying meaning, tone, intent, and context in real time. 🌍 Professional Background • 7+ years of translation and interpretation-related experience • 6+ years of ESL teaching and language instruction experience • Full-time professional freelance translator and interpreter • Extensive experience across medical, legal, immigration, education, humanitarian, and business settings • MBBS graduate with strong knowledge of clinical and biomedical sciences • Experience working with diverse international clients and multilingual communities ⭐ Why Me: Native linguistic and cultural expertise Deep familiarity with Dari, Farsi/Persian, and Pashto language and cultural contexts. Medical background An MBBS education provides an additional level of understanding when working with medical and healthcare content. High-stakes communication experience Comfortable working with sensitive, confidential, and time-sensitive assignments. Natural - not literal translation I focus on conveying the intended meaning naturally while preserving accuracy and tone. Professional and reliable Clear communication, attention to detail, confidentiality, and respect for deadlines. 🤝 Let's Work Together Whether you need a Dari, Farsi, or Pashto translator, a medical or legal interpreter, or a linguist who understands both the language and the subject matter behind it, I would be happy to discuss your project. I look forward to helping you communicate accurately, naturally, and professionally. Best regards, Dr. Usama Saarim
