COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Medical terminology is designed to develop a working knowledge of the language of health professions. Students acquire word-building skills by learning prefixes, suffixes, roots, combining forms, and abbreviations. Utilizing a body systems approach, students will define, interpret, and pronounce medical terms relating to structure and function, pathology, diagnosis, clinical procedures, and pharmacology. Students will use problem-solving techniques to assist in developing an understanding of course concepts. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to interpret, construct and apply medical terminology commonly used in the healthcare setting. GRADE: Recommended for grades 10- 12 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: Students interested in this course should be interested in the healthcare field. It may or may not be a prerequisite for other courses in a health science education program. PRE-REQUISITE : None required, although a prior course in the health science pathway or biological sciences is recommended to increase student success. CREDIT: 1 (120 hours) or 3 hours dual enrollment, or 2 units (240 hours) In addition to traditional classroom instruction, Medical Terminology may be offered as a dual enrollment course with a local technical college or university, or through an approved virtual program (example: SC Virtual).
