Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'directorio' may be used in both clinical and administrative settings. Common variants include 'lista' or 'catálogo', but it is important to stick to 'directorio' in formal contexts to maintain clarity. Avoid using colloquial terms that may not be understood in a clinical setting.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'directorio' with 'directiva'; misinterpreting 'directorio' as a personal directory instead of a medical resource; mixing up with similar terms like 'catalogo'.
