Learning Medical Terminology can seem like a daunting task at first. It could, in fact, be like learning a whole other language. In reality, memorising all of the words in a medical dictionary may prove to be impossible.
Do not fear! There is a simple way to learn and understand Medical Terminology. Most words are simply a combination of different parts or elements. In this course, you will learn the frequently used roots, prefixes, and suffixes of common medical terminology.

Translating & Interpreting in Healthcare Settings – Bundle
5/5
$599.00
There is no better way to establish competencies as a professional translator or interpreter in the healthcare sector than this bundle of on-demand courses. As the industry moves towards more nuanced and specialised testing of capabilities, you will find the skill developed in these courses immensely valuable, both in preparing for NAATI tests, and also for working within the healthcare sector. We consider this a useful bundle for practitioners regardless of their level of certification, and in fact recommend this for those practising below the “Certified Translator” or “Certified Interpreter” level, especially practitioners who are new to the industry, new to the country, or are providing services in an emerging language.
