Welcome to the short course on Medical Terminology. Medical terminology is a language that is used in healthcare settings. Medical terms are built from Greek and Latin word parts and include , and modern-day language terms.

Learning a new language can be a daunting task. This course offers methods for breaking down medical words and making them more manageable. To be successful, you will need to be committed to memorizing the word parts, learning the rules, and identifying the rebels. Once you meet that commitment you’ll be able to apply the rules to the word parts you have memorized.

As you memorize the language components of medical terminology it is important to support that learning with the context of anatomy and physiology. Consider where in the body the medical term is referencing and then how it works within the body. This will build a medical terminology foundation that you can continue to grow in your future healthcare courses.
