Introduction to Basic Medical Terminology

Course details

Medical professionals and medical students around the world converse in a language that is often very different than their native one; that language is the language of medicine. Derived from ancient Greek and Latin roots, medical terms can seem quite daunting as pronouncing them and understanding them can sometimes be difficult. However, by simply breaking words into their components, mastering pronunciation schemes and fully understanding their meanings, it becomes a much easier task. Our Medical Terminology service (program designed by a developer US certified in Medical Terminology) is designed to help familiarize students with the essential understandings of words parts (roots, prefixes, and suffixes) and their origins (Greek and Latin), and the techniques we employ help students to understand the material easily and be able to use words competently in medical settings. Our instruction is reinforced with various assessment tools, study guides, and electronic material which enable learners to solidify the knowledge gained. This service is ideal for medical professionals who need access to this vocabulary on a daily basis or for students studying medical terminology as a subject in medical universities. The following systems are included (but not necessarily limited to):

The Basics of Medical Terminology
Common Prefixes & Suffixes
The Cardiovascular System
The Urinary System
The Nervous System
The Digestive System
The Respiratory System

Our medical terminology programs are also fully integrated with our new Turnkey Medical Terminology™* app available at Google Play Store and Amazon! Students can use the app to review important chapters any time of the day, anywhere in the world! Updated on 19 April, 2017
