Helpful Guide to Common Medical Terms


Medical Word Parts

Medical terms can be very difficult to remember and understand, especially if you have not used them in an extended period of time and they can really fuzzle the brain if you were not taught them in a Medical Terminology class. Confusing prefixes and postfixes can be easily done. We found a great pictorial reference that we thought would be helpful.

The image makes it easy to understand, learn and remember the terms. If you found this reference helpful let us know! We want to bring you the things that help us all to be better at our jobs and valuable to our staffing agencies.
