As previously announced, building an online course, plus maintaining numerous web sites and message boards on the Internet is far more time consuming than most realize. However, efforts to build this course is making progress. There now are 5 lessons with exercises and quizzes.

Work on this course continues slowly but surely!

We are currently working on developing new tutorials that will introduce medical assistants to the basics of the medical language, pharmacology, and patient care in all areas in a medical office.

We know that thousands of medical assistant students and professionals are excited about the possibility to review and refresh their skills online. The author, Danni R., who is an expert in the field of medical assisting and online teaching is working diligently to get these tutorials up and running.

Please understand that setting up these extensive databases to efficiently monitor and run this site, lessons, and exercises associated with these lessons is very time consuming and labor intensive. It will take a considerable amount of knowledge and time, especially because all reading materials will be provided through this course so no books will be required to be purchased.

We ask that you please be patient and check back regularly!

Med Terms 101

Administrator: Danni Rodgers
Teacher: Danni R.

Cost: $39.00

This is a compact introductory course to medical language and vocabulary. The modules focus on basic word parts and how they are used when building medical terms.

This course is different from most! This is NOT a medical terminology course that uses the "body system approach" but rather a "building block approach". Students are introduced to basic history of medical language and then medical language chapters that allow them to pave their way to understanding and using the broad range of medical vocabulary in their typical environment.

The course consists of 16 core lessons which should be completed in the exact order provided. This course is self-paced and requires reading of lessons, some meomorization, completing assignments, or quizzes where indicated.

Students who remain focused and work diligently through each lesson can finish this course within a very short time, usually 3-4 weeks. However, students can remain enrolled in this course for up to 180 days starting from the moment they enrolled. Students are automatically disenrolled after this time has elapsed.

Course Description:

Learn Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes

Construct medical terms correctly by learning to put these building blocks together in the proper way
Determine the meaning of thousands words which are used in many fields of knowledge
