This course introduces students to the process by which technical
medical terms are formed.  It begins with an introduction to the
three-part process by which technical words are created.  It then
proceeds by offering the student an extensive collection of words
from Greek and Latin which play important roles in the formation of
the professional vocabulary of doctors and nurses.  Students who take
this course and then go into medicine or nursing use what they learn
here for the rest of their lives.
