Medical Terminology

This course provides the basic knowledge of medical language that students need to communicate clearly and understand communication from other health care team members. Exercises are included that help students memorize word parts and their meanings so they can combine parts to form medical terms. New terms and abbreviations reflect advances in technology and changes in health care delivery systems, providing the student with the most up-to-date terminology. This course may not be used to satisfy the science requirement of the core curriculum. Prerequisite: Minimum ACT 19.
