First Year English Language Curriculum1st Semester (1 credit)12 hours (1 hour/week) C. Edward Collins A Short Course in Medical Terminology Third Edition Teaching medical terms is essential for students to learn to be used effectively in their medical career life. As the author of this book states, 'the quickest way to learn medical terms is to relax and enjoy the experience. Most medical terms consist of word fragment—we'll call them elements—from Latin and Greek. The good news is that there are only 300 or so elements making up thousands of medical terms. For that reason, learning what medical terms mean is learning what the elements mean and noting how they fit together to form terms". Mastery of key terms is easy with the book’s hundreds of fun and engaging in-text, and online exercises, including new flashcard and audio pronunciation?activities, crossword puzzles, Hangman, medical case record and spelling bee questions, figure labeling exercises, and true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple choice exercises.You can increase your understanding of word parts, definitions, and abbreviations with Word Elements and Abbreviations tables.
