Understanding Medical Words

It’s all Greek to me! It’s like alphabet soup?

MedlinePlus has a new interactive online tutorial to help the health information consumer gain comfort with medical terminology.

The graphical slides, which you forward at your own speed, take a path through a series of explanations including deciphering root words accompanied by graphics, abbreviations, interjected quizzes, links back to MedlinePlus for illustration and more.

Check it out!
