Welcome to our Expert Certificate Medical Terminology course
Learning medical terminology is like learning any foreign language. Along with the vocabulary, you need to learn how complex words are formed, and their origins.
Our Expert medical terminology course includes our 14 medical terminology modules, each in its own booklet for convenience, will help you to become fluent in the language of medicine. Each booklet is packed with terms and how they are formed, definitions and illustrations, plus some practice pages so you can test your knowledge as you go along.
Plus the added bonus our new terminology videos to accelerate your learning curve. Each video includes a workbook, so you can simultaneously see, hear and write terms – the most effective way to remember spelling and pronunciation. The first two 25-minute videos go hand-in-hand with the first five course booklets to introduce you to the basics of terminology. The remaining five 30-minute videos and workbooks walk you through specific body systems.
By the time you have completed the course, you will have an impressive, basic medical vocabulary associated with a wide range of areas: medical specialties, diagnostic tests and procedures, and the body’s systems.
There’s even a practical module on the abbreviations of states and provinces.
This course helps to prepare you to go on to other courses, such as transcription, billing or coding.
