Should I take Medical Terminology course?

[jesserae]

Hello!

I Pre-Pa majoring in cell and molecular biology. My school offers an online course in medical terminology over the summer and I'm considering taking it (the course is not required for my degree). In your experience, is this a useful course and is it worth taking? 

Thank you for any advice!

Short answer is a resounding yes. Some programs require it as a pre-requisite course so it's definitely in your favor to take it.

Two schools that I am interviewing at have it as a required prereq so I'm taking one now.  I've been in healthcare for 11 years and spent the past 5 as a paramedic.  It's silly to be taking it now so do it while it can be helpful.
