Memorization TIPS Medical Terminology Get your Greek (and Latin) on… Nearly all medical terms come from Greek or Latin words Chances are you aren’t studying either of these languages in high school but you still use words every day that stem from Greek or Latin For example, angel, holistic and microscope all have Greek origins Try thinking about how words you know match the meanings of new medical terms you learn

Memorization TIPS Medical Terminology See the Patterns in Words… Most medical terms can be broken down into smaller parts. These parts are typically a combination of a root word (the base of the word), a prefix (the first few letters of a word) and a suffix (the ending of a word) Does anyone have an example of a medical term to share?

Memorization TIPS Medical Terminology See the Patterns in Words… For example the root word “patho” means “of or relating to a disease” and the suffix “logy” means “the study of a [certain subject],” so pathology is the study of disease Breaking down words in this way reduces the amount of memorization you’ll have to do to master medical terminology

Memorization TIPS Medical Terminology Imagine It… Connecting visual imagery with new vocabulary words is a great association technique When you are studying medical terminology, try to picture each word The more specific and detailed of an image you can picture the more the word will be imprinted in your brain

Memorization TIPS Medical Terminology Imagine It… For example for encephalitis, an acute inflammation of the brain, you might try picturing a helium balloon in the shape of a brain being inflated As you picture it think about the color of the balloon, how big it is and exactly how it is growing

Memorization TIPS Medical Terminology Flash Cards Flash cards are a tried-and-true way to learn new words Writing the term you are trying to learn on one side and the definition on the other side can be a helpful memorization technique You can quiz yourself while waiting at the bus stop, right before bed, while you’re getting your haircut or anytime you have a spare moment Bring your flash cards into the digital with apps like Ankidroid, StudyDroid, Dictonary.com Flashcards, StudyBlue and Quizlet.
