Advanced Medical Terminology with Sound Recordings

This is a self-paced class with continuous enrollment.


Cost: $35.00
Medical terms are comprised of a family of prefixes, suffixes, and root words that combine in
multiple ways to form the language of medicine. A student who understands the meanings of
these terms can typically “translate” any advanced medical term to derive its meaning.

This is an advanced course for those who require a high level of proficiency with medical
terminology to meet their career goals. The course is intended primarily for those students with a
solid background in the health sciences that need an in-depth foundation in medical terminology
and a comprehensive review of human systems. It provides the necessary foundation for students
planning professional or post-graduate work in a health science profession and is ideal for those
entering medical school, pharmacy school, physical therapy, medical technology, nursing, or
other advanced professional training programs.

The course is organized according to medical specialties and each lesson includes the
terminology for the particular specialty being studied, word elements for that field, and written
and audio terminology review. The audio files are in mp3 or wav formats that will play on
QuickTime, Windows Media Player, or Real Player. These include pronunciations for all the
terms in the written terminology review so that students can correlate both the written and
spoken terms. A link to a free download of a transcription program that uses hot keys to stop and
start the dictated terms is included for you to use to pause the recording while you practice your
pronunciations.

A previous version of this course was a prerequisite for admission to several physical therapy
graduate programs. The sound recordings and other updates have significantly improved the
curriculum.
