Welcome to the blog for understanding medical terminology! Learning medical terminology is similar to learning a new language. It is important to relax and be patient with yourself.
Medical terminology can be used for many ways. Here are just a few uses.
- You or a loved one has a medical condition and you would like to be able to understand what you are hearing and reading about the condition/diagnosis.
- You are considering a career in the medical field. This is a great way to explore this option.
- You enjoy reading about medical topics.
- You are in the medical or health care field now and feel having a better understanding of medical terminology would help your position.
I’m an RN with over 18 years experience. I have worked in many different settings, including home care, hospice, case management, and education. I have taught various classes such as first aid, CPR, communicable disease, and of course medical terminology.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I look forward to “chatting” with you soon!
