Medical Language Accelerated approaches medical terminology not as
words to be memorized but as a language to be learned. If you treat
medical terminology as a language and learn how to read terms like
sentences, you will be able to communicate clearly as a health care
professional and will be a full participant in the culture of medicine.
Memorizing definitions is equal to a traveler memorizing a few phrases
in another language to help during a brief vacation: It will help a
traveler survive for a few days. But if one is going to live in another
culture for an extended period of time, learning to speak and understand
the language becomes essential.
