ExpertRating Online Medical Terminology Course Coverage (6 weeks program)

Week One

Wednesday - Lesson 01

Welcome to the first lesson of medical terminology! Lesson 1 will begin the course by exploring root terms, which represent the main meaning of a combined medical term. A combined medical term consists of a root, a prefix, and/or a suffix. Progressing through each lesson of this course, you'll see that lessons proceed by "body system," and this first lesson will go over root terms that are associated with the musculoskeletal system, so this lesson will be talking a lot about the muscles, bones, joints, and tendons of the body in this lesson.

Friday - Lesson 02

In this lesson, you'll learn a variety of terminology relating to the integumentary and digestive systems. The integumentary system includes the skin, connective tissues, and some loosely associated structures such as nails and teeth. When this lesson discusses the digestive system, you'll learn medical terminology relating to the digestive tract from the mouth, to the pharynx, to the esophagus, and so on, all the way out to the exterior of the body.

Week Two

Wednesday - Lesson 03

This lesson will go over terminology related to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The cardiovascular system includes the heart, arteries, veins, and blood, while the respiratory system includes the lungs and assorted chest structures.

Friday - Lesson 04

This lesson’s topic areas are the urinary and reproductive systems. When lesson 4 goes over the urinary system, you'll learn terminology related to the kidneys, bladder, urine, and even some chemistry terms. When it goes over the reproductive system, you'll learn root terms that refer to both male and female anatomical structures.

Week Three

Wednesday - Lesson 05-

This lesson will finish up its discussion about root terms. You'll learn root terms that are associated with the neurosensory system, including nerves, the eyes, ears, brain, and spinal cord. Then this lesson will begin doing something a little different—at the end of the lesson it'll do a little review session to help you remember all of the root terms that you've learned up to this point.

Friday - Lesson 06

In this lesson, you'll learn about prefixes and suffixes that are common in medicine and start with the letters A through H. After learning this lesson, you won't be going through the word associations that you did in previous lessons. By now, you'll find that you can recognize many of these terms as they're used in your normal, everyday language.

Week Four

Wednesday - Lesson 07

This lesson will continue to progress through the prefixes and suffixes commonly used in medical terminology. The objective of this lesson is to identify the common medical prefixes and suffixes that begin with the letters I through O.

Friday - Lesson 08

This lesson will complete its tour through the alphabetical listings of the most common prefixes and suffixes used in medical terminology by focusing on prefixes and suffixes that begin with the letters P through Z. You'll find that there are many more terms that medical professionals use less often, and you'll even discover that sometimes a root that you already know is used as a prefix or suffix.

Week Five

Wednesday - Lesson 09

In previous lessons, you learned about common prefixes and suffixes. In this lesson, you'll study specific prefixes and suffixes that pertain to color. Color is used quite a bit in the medical field because it helps everyone to describe various signs and symptoms. This lesson will also go over medical abbreviations that are specific to the various occupations and titles of the medical industry. Your assignment in this lesson will change a little as your research becomes a bit more challenging.

Friday - Lesson 10

The medical community uses an abundance of abbreviations. Some medical facilities don't allow them, but you should still learn the meanings of the most common abbreviations so you'll know them when you see them. For this lesson, you'll study the abbreviations that start with the letters A through R. Your assignment for this lesson will be a bit different—you're going to find words in a medical note that you can replace with the abbreviations that you learned in the lesson.

Week Six

Wednesday - Lesson 11

In this lesson, you'll finish your study of medical abbreviations as you explore the abbreviations that begin with letters S through Z. You'll also go over specific abbreviations that refer to hospital areas, laboratory tests, chemistries, and medical symbols. In this assignment, it's up to you to find the abbreviations that correctly relate to each sentence in a medical note.

Friday - Lesson 12

Here in this final lesson, it's time to put everything you've learned together. You'll look at your roots, prefixes, and suffixes, and see how they create combined medical terms from body system to body system. You'll also learn some directional terms that are commonly used in medicine. You'll find that your assignment for this lesson provides you the opportunity to decipher a complete medical note.
