Health Science: Medical Terminology Honors

Course Description+ Health Science: Medical Terminology bridges the gap between clinical language and biological origins. This college-level course provides a comprehensive look at the human body by synthesizing the linguistic foundations of medicine with the developmental mechanics of embryology. Throughout this year-long program, students will: Master the "Language of Medicine": Gain fluency in the Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes that form the bedrock of clinical communication.Explore Embryogenesis: Study the framework of adult anatomy, body axes, and the origins of systemic pathologies. Apply Knowledge: Use problem-based learning to solve real-world clinical and developmental scenarios. By the end of the course, students will possess both the vocabulary to describe the human body and the developmental insight to understand how it is built.
