quesoburrito Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Can anyone one recommend a good online medical terminology course? I need one to fulfill a pre-req. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dndandrea Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'm not sure if this will fulfill your pre-req but i'm taking the full 3credit medical terminology class right now and we use a book with the online content. It's attached to our Angel login content but it's still online through elsevier pretty much. Check it out for yourself and see if it'll work for you because i'm learning a lot by using it and my teacher really hasn't taught me anything i havent learned from it online or in the book. My class is online but we meet once a week for tests/lecture. https://evolve.elsevier.com/productPages/i_2395_6529.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHC81 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I took mine through Arapahoe Community College online. It was very thorough and was three credit hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerog Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Does med term count for science GPA on CASPA? I can't find it on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will352ns Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oddly, CASPA listed mine as English. I originally had it as non-science, but they changed it during verification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundsquirrel Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think just about any community college that offers an allied health program would have an online medical term class. I also know that Chemetka Community College offers a lot of classes online and I think it costs like $89.00 per credit hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpixi Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm taking one now through Corexel, and you can get credit for it. Itself paced and you have a year to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Took mine at American River College in Sacramento. Online and finished it in like 2 weeks. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotaskimmer Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The school I got in to accepted online certificates for medical terminology (no credit hours). If your school explicitly states that they accept that, you may want to do what I did and get yours from ExpertRating.com. http://www.expertrating.com/certifications/Medical-Terminology-Certification/Medical-Terminology-Certification.asp The quality of the "course" is abysmal, and it was almost certainly created by someone for whom English was not their first language. BUT, after perusing the first lesson, I just skipped to the final exam and got an 80%, passing is a 50%. Questions on the exam are of poor quality also, but hey, $80 and 1 hour after signing up I had an med term online certification. Got my paper certificate in 2 weeks. My school found it satisfactory.

panglossian Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Washtenaw Community College offers a one-credit online course. Most 3 credit courses I found are not fully online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
