From September 2007 through the April 2008 issues, the Briefings on Credentialing newsletter featured a series of Credentialing 101 articles. Each article focused on a single credentialing topic, and provided a refresher course for the seasoned pro and a just-the-facts introduction for the new MSP on the block. This week's tip is from the article "Medical terminology," printed in the November 2007 issue:
Most of us who work in the healthcare field are bound to be stumped by medical terminology at some time. If you're looking for a quick answer to your vocabulary question on the Web, visit:
- www.medterms.com, the dictionary feature from Medicine Net
- http://dictionary.webmd.com, WebMD's guide to medical terms
However, if you want a Web site that offers more, visit:
- http://www.dmu.edu/medterms/, a Des Moines (IA) University Web page that organizes its vocabulary lists by body systems (e.g., circulatory, digestive, etc.)
- http://ec.hku.hk/mt/, The University of Hong Kong's English Center Web site also contains a wealth of information, including self-assessment tools and audio clips to teach pronunciation.
Subscribers can access the Briefings on Credentialing archives through the Credentialing Resource Center. www.online-crc.com
