Medical terminology refers to words used in medical contexts, and this specialized vocabulary can be difficult to understand for those unfamiliar with it. The following is an introduction to medical terminology basics that will help you navigate the world of healthcare. As a future healthcare interpreter, it is important to understand basic Greek and Latin roots. While they may seem incredibly complex at first, do not worry: you already use ancient words every day (like automobile, multimedia, and video) – without even thinking about them!
