# OF4002 — Medical Terminology

Students will be introduced to the structure of medical terminology—how terms are formed, pronunciation, and meanings. Knowledge of medical terms can be acquired through the study of the structure and workings of the systems of the body, via simple, semi-technical explanations, word analysis (combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes), phonetic spellings, practical applications, and exercises.
