Welcome to Medical Terminology, the second course in the series.

This is the ongoing instruction designed to help you become confident into the whole new world and culture of healthcare. You started with Medical Terminology 1 and now you get to add to your initial vocabulary. Remember, learning medical terminology is like living in a foreign country in which you don't know the language. How do you best learn a new language?

Immerse yourself in it!

The more you are exposed to it, the better you will learn it, which means LOTS and LOTS of repetition and practice. The more you practice and the more repetition, the more fluent you will become.
