Did you ever wonder just what your doctor was telling you?
Why do they talk in a foreign language? Surprise! It is a foreign language!
Most medical jargon is actually Latin. By taking the words apart, and knowing what the parts mean, in Latin, you can decipher what your doctor is telling you--in most cases. Thanks to a member of our *Family* (Thank you Bobbi!), we have a listing of the the most used Latin prefixes, suffixes and roots, in medicine.

http://www.lcsc.edu/healthocc/enable02/roots/roots.htm
In order to analyze medical words, you need to understand the three main elements that are used to form words. There are many terms to each of these elements and it would be impossible to expect you to learn them all, but you will become familiar with some of the most common ones with exercises to help you learn.
Enabling objectives:
1. Distinguish between the three elements which make up medical words: prefix, root, and suffix, and give the meaning of each.
2. Define commonly used prefixes, suffixes, and root words.
3. Identify medical abbreviations and symbols.
4. Demonstrate the knowledge of medical terms and abbreviations.
