Whats an easier way to learn these medical terms for my Medical Billing course?
November 21st, 2009 by admin
I am studying to become a Medical Billing Specialist and have to learn a bunch of medical terms. Is there a better way to memorize all of these prefixes, roots, combining forms, and suffixes that make up all the medical terms? Please help. There is just too much to memorize all at once…I don’t see how doctors do it!
Im a stay at home mom and doing this on my own free time. My husband works long hours and doesnt really hep much with my studying. I study the best I can just need a little boost on better memorization of all these. Not very easy with 2 little ones to look after, both under the age of 2.

I used flashcards. They worked wonders during nursing school, I never made below a 98 on a terms test using those.
No, sorry, the only way to learn it is: learn it. You are going to have to study, study, study. We all went through it who were in the medical profession in any way. You can do it. Believe in yourself. Try flashcards, self-tests, etc. Try to talk a family member or friend into being your ‘tutor’. Good luck.
Flashcards … Study
You just have to learn it somehow. I don’t know if it’s what you’re doing, but I took a course at a local community college to help me.
Buy a packet of 3X5 cards. Or lots of packets.
Make flashcards – the term on one side, definition on the other.
When ever you sit down, do your flashcards.
You’ll do fine.
