HOW TO USE THIS COURSE--PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

You will note that the medical terms are not broken up into "prefix-middle-suffix" nor are there any memory 'triggers' for words. What I have created is a very basic way to pronounce terms if you use the pronunciation guide and listen to the audio provided.

Each slide has up to six terms or diseases, followed by their phonetic spelling and audio pronunciation.

The lectures are in alphabetical order and are made short enough for your review and practice.

I would suggest using your cellphone to record your pronunciation. You can then listen to your pronunciation until you are satisfied that you have mastered it.

At the end of the lectures is a list of acronyms for you to review. You should familiarize yourself with some of these acronyms, which will be useful in both your written and oral presentations. It is perfectly acceptable to use these acronyms instead of saying the (sometimes very long) terms. "Atrial fibrillation" can easily be replaced with "a fib", "transient ischemic attack" can easily be replaced with "TIA", etc.

Good luck!

p.s. if there is a term that is not listed that you would like to know how to pronounce, please add it in the comments!
