Endorsement
“Ineke Crezee’s Medical Terminology course is an excellent way to familiarise practitioners with this bewilderingly extensive terminology, but most importantly – make sense of it and find the key to further self-education. The course succinctly covers terminology in the major medical disciplines, starting with a historical and structural account of its Greek-Latin basis which bamboozles so many. Crucially, Crezee places the learning of each discipline’s terminology within its context, providing core vocabulary and its meaning and reinforcing learning with judicious repetition and comparison.
