Beginner Level
In this class learners will be introduced to how medical terms are broken down into the prefixes, suffixes, and roots. Examples will be given as we review some commonly used medical terms and how they are broken down. We will also review some commonly used abbreviations used in an animal's medical record.The rest of class will be a game to practice some of the terms we learned during class. This will be either a bingo game or a Jeopardy! game.  

This class is for learners who are new at medical terminology and have not had Advanced Vet 1 or Advanced Vet 6 yet.
