Description

Have you always wanted to start a career in healthcare?

  • Did you know that healthcare is one of the largest businesses in the United States, accounting for 17.1% of the GDP, or 2.87 trillion dollars?
  • In nursing alone, it is estimated that there will be a need for 1.05 million nurses by 2022?
  • The average yearly salary for a nurse is $68,900 per year?!

Do you want to create apps and Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) programs?

  • Healthcare spent $3.8 billion in 2015 for EHR alone!
  • There is now a renaissance in creating medical programs - it is estimated that healthcare is at least 10 years behind in all other industries in using electronic data

Learning how to understand and speak medical terminology is a fundamental first step for entering the world of healthcare.


What you will learn in this course

  • Fundamentals of how to use medical prefixes, suffixes and root words
  • Anatomical directions
  • Common medical abbreviations
  • How to read and write a prescription
  • A brief overview of human anatomy, diseases and treatments

How is this course different?

  • You will learn by immersion - not by memorizing rules! By listening to over 4 hours of basic anatomy, diseases and treatment you will learn how medical terminology, the language of healthcare, is used in conversation and how it is pronounced by an experienced speaker.


Who is the target audience?

  • This is a beginner level course, only needing a desire to learn
  • For healthcare students needing supplemental material to help them in class
  • For aspiring healthcare programmers, wanting to understand the vocabulary of healthcare
  • For medical transcriptionists who want to hear how a native English speaker pronounces commonly used words in medical terminology.

Who is the instructor?

  • He has experience in many different specialties, including cardiology, pulmonology, critical care medicine, hospitalist and office medicine
  • He is a native US English speaker with a clear Midwestern accent

Who this course is for:

  • For students wanting to learn basic medical terminology.

  • For programmers wanting to learn medical vocabulary to use in apps and programs.
