ESLBuzz Mastering Medical Terms: Essential Vocabulary for English Learners
ESLBuzz Mastering Medical Terms: Essential Vocabulary for English Learners explains how a medical term is built and then works through the vocabulary of a hospital day. It is written by a teacher of nurses and medical students, and covers root words, prefixes and suffixes, anatomical direction terms, named conditions with their pronunciation, diagnostic and surgical procedures, chart abbreviations and a clinic dialogue.
100% Free (unlimited): The whole article, its tables, the flashcard list of twenty-five words, the quizzes and the frequently asked questions are open with no account and nothing held back, and the page states that the flashcard study list and the five-question test need no sign-up.
How It Helps Your Business English
Tables of root words, prefixes and suffixes with worked examples such as hypertension; eight anatomical direction terms shown in sentences from a chart; cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory conditions with pronunciation; diagnostic and surgical procedures; vital-sign and imaging abbreviations with normal ranges; a clinic dialogue; and two quizzes.
Start with the roots, prefixes and suffixes, because once you can break a term into its parts you can work out words you have never seen. Then use the direction terms to read a chart entry like the one explained on the page, and the abbreviation tables when you meet letters instead of words. The worked corrections show how one prefix changes a meaning, and the quizzes check what stayed.
