Interpreter Notes
Interpreters should be aware that the term 'viajes' may be used in both formal and informal contexts, but it is important to maintain a clinical register when interpreting. Common variants include 'turismo' (tourism) or 'desplazamiento' (displacement), but these should be avoided in medical settings to ensure clarity.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
