Medical Terminology is the specialized vocabulary used in healthcare to describe anatomy, diagnoses, procedures, and treatments, built largely from Greek and Latin root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Mastery of this language is essential for nurses, medical coders, transcriptionists, and administrative staff to accurately document and communicate patient information. It is typically taught as a foundational course in medical and allied health training programs.
