M120/HSC1531 Section 02 Module 03 Discussion – Medical Terminology in Your Profession

Understanding and retaining knowledge of medical terminology is vital in every healthcare profession. Research and think about why it is so vital in your desired profession to have the knowledge of medical terminology, and share your thoughts. How do you foresee using medical terminology in your day-to-day role and responsibilities in your desired profession? How will you maintain your knowledge of medical terminology after this course?

In your reply post, share at least 3 medical terms that you think you might use in your future career. For instance, if you plan to pursue a career in surgery, you may want to share medical terms that describe surgical procedures. Be sure to provide a brief definition of the terms you provide. Think outside the box here! You are encouraged to find medical terms that have not yet been mentioned in your textbook reading or course content.
