These medical courses were developed by the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Contents include: Correspondence Course of U.S. Army Medical Department Center And School - Subcourse Md0010 - Basic Medical Terminology - Introduction - Medical terminology is the professional language of those who are directly or indirectly engaged in the art of healing. You will need to know medical terms in order to read a medical record, to complete forms, to decipher a physician's handwriting, and to communicate with others in the hospital in a professional manner. At first, the medical terms may seem strange and bewildering to you and appear to be extremely difficult to learn. Fortunately, there is a logical method found in medical terminology. Many of the words used in medicine are made up of parts which are also used in other words. Once you know the meanings of the basic parts of the words, you can put them together to understand the meanings of many medical terms. These basic parts of medical terms are called stems, prefixes, and suffixes. During this course, you will learn to identify and define a stem, a prefix, and a suffix. You will also learn how they are used in combination to describe a medical term. Subcourse Components: This subcourse consists of 4 lessons and an examination. The lessons are: Lesson 1, Introduction to Programmed Learning. Lesson 2, Stems Pertaining to Medical Terminology. Lesson 3, Prefixes Pertaining to Medical Terminology. Lesson 4, Suffixes Pertaining to Medical Terminology. PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION - Directions: Each frame consists of a question and an answer.
