Description

Medical Terminology Course Overview

Have you ever tried to read a really long word in science class or maybe want to know what the Dr. was saying when you went in for your sports physical? This introduction class to Medical Terminology will help you decipher those big words.

After working in the medical field for 20+ years, I have learned the importance of needing to speak the language that medical professionals speak. In order to truly understand diagnosis, treatment options and prescriptions, it is vital that you are able to decipher the medical language and translate it into terms you know.

I look forward to helping you understand more about the language of medicine and how it applies to the human body. I enjoy sharing my experiences with you to help you get a broader understanding of how to understand science as well as medicine.

This class will not only prepare you to be able to understand what the Dr. may be saying, it will also help you in higher level sciences. Biology, chemistry, and physics all have words that are very hard to say let alone know their meaning. In this class, we will learn prefixes, suffixes, and roots that will help you learn to break down words so you can understand what the word means.

With the knowledge gained in this class, you will have a better understanding as you continue with sciences throughout high school and college as well as the ability to understand the language of medicine.
