This course presents a study of the language of medicine with emphasis on providing students with the knowledge and skills needed for word-building, pronunciation and spelling of medical terms. Students become familiar with the medical terminology related to the body systems and with the names and abbreviations of diseases, laboratory tests, surgical instruments and surgical and clinical procedures. Terms related to cancer medicine, pharmacology radiology, nuclear medicine and psychiatry are introduced and students are taught to analyse them morphologically as a basis for understanding new terminology.
