OFAD 141 - Medical Terminology: A Contextual Approach

3 Credit(s).

Teaches students how to build medical terms using word parts, combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes. Students learn how to translate terms into their common meanings and common meanings into medical terms. Terminology is introduced by body system, system function, and organ structure and is applied by associating medical terms with basic physiologic and pathophysiologic scenarios. This course prepares Health Informatics and Information Technology students for BIOL 160 and BIOL 260 and is required for all OFAD medical program majors. Note: ALHL 115 is not a substitute for OFAD 141. Medical terminology courses transferred from other institutions must be evaluated by the Medical Office Assistant program coordinator before awarding credit. NOTE: Course offered fall, spring, and may be offered during additional sessions.
