Basic Medical Terminology Course
What will I learn?
Open up the language of healthcare with our Basic Medical Terminology Course (Zambian Edition), designed for those wanting to join, or already working in, the healthcare field. This clear and useful course covers important medical terms for key body systems: the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular), breathing (respiratory), kidneys (renal), the brain and nerves (nervous), hormones (endocrine), and blood (hematology). You'll learn the main parts of medical words (root words), bits added to the beginning (prefixes), and bits added to the end (suffixes) so you can understand tricky terms. This will help you talk and understand things better in medical places. Improve your skills and be more sure of yourself when looking after patients, with learning you can do at your own pace and time.
