There are many ways and various books to help you learn medical terminology. This book is intended for a short course in medical terminology and focuses on medical terms, their definitions, and brief exercises to help you quickly gauge your understanding. That means this book can be worked through in as little as 8 weeks. The goal is to give you all the basics necessary to be successful in your career, while allowing you to have a little fun learning. Not every word in the medical field is found in this book, but their Latin and Greek word parts are found here. These word parts can be combined to make thousands of medical terms, and understanding the basic word parts is the first step toward understanding complete words. While it is possible to memorize the definitions of individual medical words, understanding just the parts that make up the medical word is easier and faster than learning every word because there are fewer word parts than complete words. In fact, approached the right way, medical terminology may be the easiest subject in your program. Learning it takes a bit of thought and an open mind, but it need not involve sweating or paper ripping out of frustration. Why is medical terminology important? Can’t medical professionals just use simple words like “gut” and “cut”? Unfortunately, these aren’t always specific enough. Gut can refer to the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, or many parts of the digestive system. If someone has pain in one of these areas, it is important to easily identify that area and have other medical professionals also recognize that specific area. The term “cut” could mean just an incision, or in other cases, it could mean cutting off a body part. For example, “She cut her hand” indicates an incision, but “Cut the hand distal to the wrist” could mean an amputation. Fortunately, medical terminology allows us to specifically identify places in the body and even what type of cut it is with words.
