Medical Terminology Year 2018-2019 Syllabus Teacher: Mrs. Beatrice A. WynnPhone Number: 843-873-6460Email: bwynn@dorchester2.k12.sc.usCourse Description: Medical Terminology is the study of words used in the medical profession to describe the human body in health and in illness and in current methods of diagnosis and treatment. This course is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge of word parts and how they are used as the building blocks of many terms used in health professions. A combination of modalities will address the needs of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners as a material is covered through each body system. My goal is for students to be able to identify, spell, define, and pronounce primary medical terms related to the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment of the major body systems.

Work missed is the responsibility of the student to contact the teacher verbally, through email and/or Remind. I DO NOT accept late work if the student was present the day the work was assigned and present the day the work is to be collected. However, if a student is absent for any reason the teacher and student will follow the directions and parameters given in the Parent/Student Handbook. Please reference this document for further details. Class Rules and Expectations for Managing Student Behavior:Students will behave in a responsible and respectful manner—for example students will remove hats indoors, use proper language, speak in low voices, stay on task, follow safety rules, and adhere to oral and written instructions.ON TIME and prepared for class—bringing book, paper, pen(cil) everydayNO CELL PHONES—the Electronic Use Policy will be enforced in this classroom, students who break this policy will be reported to parents and school administration for appropriate puter usage: after a warning, inappropriate use of the Internet will be reported to parents and school administration for appropriate discipline.Academic Integrity:Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner.
