Course Description

This comprehensive medical terminology combination course covers both courses: Medical Terminology 101 and 201. We'll start with the very basics of medical terminology, reviewing word roots, prefixes, and suffixes that make up medical words. We'll then move on to each body system where we'll work on recognizing and defining their related medical terms. This comprehensive review of medical terminology will not only benefit those new to medical terms used in medicine today, but also act as a refresher for those already experienced in medical terminology. So join us today!

Student Testimonials

"I thought the instructor was wonderful. She was very encouraging to me." -- Rena M.
"Each chapter was very interesting and informative." -- Cynthia S.
"This class was beyond the other Medical Terminology classes that I took. This class pushed me to go beyond what I could do. I found it very challenging!" -- Carla L. O.
"This was a totally intense course, but definitely worth the time and effort. I learned a lot and look forward to putting my knowledge to work. And yes, I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants a challenging worthwhile course in medical terminology!" -- Kristi G.
"What was most helpful was the videos with each lesson to listen to as I read the lessons." -- Deborah R.
"I appreciated the breakdown by body organization. The videos were the very helpful. Hearing how to pronounce the medical terms helps me retain the information. I also appreciate the assignments. I think I learn more from doing those than any other part of the class." -- Julie B.
"I have found the instructor to be fairly prompt with the evaluation of test results given her work load. I also appreciate the explanation of the incorrect answers - this is extremely useful and although this may all be automated, the feedback comes directly from the instructor which gives it the personal interaction it deserves" -- LILIAN H.
