Medical Terminology courses are helpful for any career that uses medical terminology such as medical coding, health information technology, working as a health care professional, or working in the administrative side of health care.

This course will help prepare you for jobs related to health care by teaching you the language of medicine, including an overview of how the different organ systems function, information about many different medical disorders, and information about diagnostic and treatment procedures. As a result, it will help prepare you for related college courses and for certification or admissions exams that expect you to have an understanding of medical terminology.
