SUBCOURSE MD0010

BASIC MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

Medical terminology is the professional language of those who are directly or

indirectly engaged in the art of healing. You will need to know medical terms in order to

read a medical record, to complete forms, to decipher a physician's handwriting, and to

communicate with others in the hospital in a professional manner.

At first, the medical terms may seem strange and bewildering to you and appear to

be extremely difficult to learn. Fortunately, there is a logical method found in medical

terminology. Many of the words used in medicine are made up of parts which are also

used in other words. Once you know the meanings of the basic parts of the words, you can

put them together to understand the meanings of many medical terms. These basic parts

of medical terms are called stems, prefixes, and suffixes. During this course, you will learn

to identify and define a stem, a prefix, and a suffix. You will also learn how they are used in

combination to describe a medical term.

This subcourse consists of 4 lessons and an examination. The lessons are:
