You can make a difference in other people's lives if you know how to speak the language of medicine. Our Medical Terminology course is vital for healthcare professionals, as it equips you for success in career training programs in this high-demand field.

This medical terminology training course offers a comprehensive introduction to medical terminology and the human body, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various systems in health and disease. You will explore critical topics such as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, as well as the lymphatic and immune systems. The curriculum is structured in two parts, featuring a midterm exam after the first seven lessons and a final exam at the end of the course. Additional subjects covered include the nervous system, special senses, the integumentary system, and mental health, preparing you for a well-rounded understanding of human anatomy and medical practices.

For those who have had previous exposure and understanding of the medical language, there is an opportunity to demonstrate your prior knowledge by testing and showing mastery level in medical terminology. This feature is optional for all students. If the minimum 80% test score requirement is met, you will have the option to accept that test score in place of completing medical terminology course content or decline and complete the course in its entirety. It is important to understand that this course feature only applies to the online Medical Terminology course, the standalone course, or advanced career training course bundles that include Medical Terminology.
