Medical terminology, decoded

Most medical words are built from a small set of parts. Learn the roots, prefixes and suffixes once, and thousands of terms start to explain themselves. These guides show you how to split a word, read its meaning, and avoid the abbreviations that cause errors in practice. They are written for students starting medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry or allied health in English.
