sav11 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Does anyone know of an online medical terminology course that fulfills the prerequisite for PA schools. Ideally, I am looking for a self-paced program, though I am open to other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcyJ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Have you tried searching the online classes thread yet? It's long, so I imagine there's a suggestion in there for med term somewhere. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ket131 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I do not know of any that do not require in person test taking. Just a tip, find one that meets credit requirements. Some schools want 3 credit Vs 2 credit medical terminology and it is a bummer to find that out while searching for schools. I guess take the one that can get you into the schools you want.

PACrankset Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Took University of phoenix’s class this last spring. It is 3 credits and fulfilled the requirement at the schools I applied to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaylee272 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I took an online medical terminology course at University of Arizona online! It was 3 credits and self paced over the semester (super easy!!) Im not sure how it works when you aren't enrolled in a bacc program but it was great!

mooredc Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I took mine through university of San Diego. It was a 2 credit, graduate level ( I have no clue why) self paced course. I did it in 3 days and it was accepted everywhere. It was literally just 25 modules with a quiz at the end. https://pce.sandiego.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=38327378 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I took mine through a local community college, I was able to enroll for the one class and never had to go in and test in person. Super easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost is less than similar courses. It now seems to be 16 modules, and 3 small exercises. But yes, it is self- paced and that's perfect. S.

PAStudent8152 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thank you so much! I was confused since the unofficial trasncript said 2 academic units next to my grade...I also listed it as University of San Diego in caspa instead of university of SanDiego extension of continuing education, I hope that is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baliconnors Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 For people that took this class at U San Diego online, did you buy the textbook? I'm looking for the most efficient and budget-friendly way to complete the prereq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just going through and taking the quizzes. If there is a word or concept I didnt know I just googled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have already completed about 1/4 of the modules just by using google (thank god for quizlet) and my own general knowledge from anatomy.

PhanPA Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 https://pce.sandiego.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=38327378 For this course, does it matter that it says 2 credits of medical terminology than 3 credits? Will most PA schools accept that or is it better to go for a 3-credit course at a community college? I do like the fact that it's self paced though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblee Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Most PA schools I'm seeing requires only 1 credit for Medical Terminology. So I think that is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
