Basic knowledge of Latin will facilitate the study of the subject and may be regarded as a useful component of the educational outfit of students when entering the faculty, though it is no obligatory prerequisite for the acquisition of the university subject matter in the introductory phase.

Course objectives
Greek-Latin medical terminology is one of the relevant means for acquisition of the target knowledge of medical students. The tuition is of both theoretic and practical character, conceived as a preparatory course sui generis, introducing the students into the study of medicine by means of its language.
The content of tuition is, like the set of knowledge postulated in the examination, exclusively determined by the needs of the discipline and medical practice, with a particular focus on the head and neck regions. In the first place it provides such knowledge of Latin and/or Greek as enables the student to master quickly and purposefully the semantic aspect of terms, their grammatical form, and word-forming structure. Simultaneously it provides systematic instruction to independent solution of current terminological problems consisting in understanding of the technical content of the terms and in the formation of medical terms. Besides this it opens a view of the wider historical and linguistic fundamentals of medical terminology as well as its general theoretical contexts.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
use Latin and Greek-Latin medical terminology and expressions correctly and understand them;
explain and apply grammatical devices and rules relevant for acquisition of Greek-Latin medical terminology;
recognize the syntactic structure of complex terms;
describe the semantic structure of one-word terms;
form compound words applying the most used word-formation principles;
translate selected expressions from anatomy, pre-clinical and clinical fields of study, medical prescriptions, and pharmacology;
guess the meanings of unknown terms on the basis of semantic, grammatical and logical relations.
Syllabus
  • Basic medical terminology - practice. Syllabus.
  • 1st week: Revision of the 1st semester´s curriculum with focus on the adjectives of 3rd declension.
  • 2nd week: Comparison of adjectives. Dimminutive forms.

  • 6th week: Progress test I. Greek roots referring to pathological states and diseases.
  • 7th week: Greek roots referring to medical interventions and examinations.
  • 8th week: Revision of compound words using Greek roots.
  • 9th week: Progress test II. Specific pathological states and terms related to them.
  • 10th week: Structure of Czech medical prescription. Most common formulae used in pharmacology.
  • 11th week: Revision of medical prescriptions. Forms of medications.

Requirements for passing the course: 1) max. one unexcused absence 2) submitting an in-class interactive activity aimed at clarification of the terms related to selected topics 3) passing a written exam testing the grammatical phenomena used in medical terminology; the pass limit is 70% to 60%, depending on the results of progress tests. 4) passing the oral exam examining two aspects of medical terminology: a) pharmacological terms in medical prescription; b) clinical terms in medical documentation with emphasis on compound words of Greek origin. Students are admitted to oral exam only after passing the written exam. The final grade is based on making an average of the score in written exam and performance in oral exam.

Course objectives
Greek-Latin medical terminology is one of the relevant means for acquisition of the target knowledge of medical students. The tuition is of both theoretic and practical character, conceived as a preparatory course sui generis, introducing the students into the study of medicine by means of its language.
The content of tuition is, like the set of knowledge postulated in the examination, exclusively determined by the needs of the discipline and medical practice, with a particular focus on the head and neck regions. In the first place it provides such knowledge of Latin and/or Greek as enables the student to master quickly and purposefully the semantic aspect of terms, their grammatical form, and word-forming structure. Simultaneously it provides systematic instruction to independent solution of current terminological problems consisting in understanding of the technical content of the terms and in the formation of medical terms. Besides this it opens a view of the wider historical and linguistic fundamentals of medical terminology as well as its general theoretical contexts.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
use Latin and Greek-Latin medical terminology and expressions correctly and understand them;
explain and apply grammatical devices and rules relevant for acquisition of Greek-Latin medical terminology;
recognize the syntactic structure of complex terms;
describe the semantic structure of one-word terms;
form compound words applying the most used word-formation principles;
translate selected expressions from anatomy, pre-clinical and clinical fields of study, medical prescriptions, and pharmacology;
guess the meanings of unknown terms on the basis of semantic, grammatical and logical relations.

Assessment methods
Examination (zk) mainly proceeds in the oral form but also includes a shorter written part in the form of a translation of clinical and prescription terms from Czech into Latin. The oral part contains grammatical analysis of selected Latin anatomical and clinical terms, determination and variation of basic grammatical categories, explanation of a technically relevant grammatical phenomenon, and tasks which check knowledge of word formation. The exam may be supplemented with questions from the theory of terminology (historical aspects, contemporary state of development, characteristic features, etc.). A prerequisite for admission to the examination is successful completion of the final written test focused especially on word-formation.

Course objectives
General characteristics of the subject: Greek-Latin medical terminology is one of the relevant means for acquisition of the target knowledge of medical students. The tuition is of both theoretic and practical character, conceived as a preparatory course sui generis, introducing the students into the study of medicine by means of its language.
The content of tuition is, like the set of knowledge postulated in the examination, exclusively determined by the needs of the discipline and medical practice, with a particular focus on the head and neck regions. In the first place it provides such knowledge of Latin and/or Greek as enables the student to master quickly and purposefully the semantic aspect of terms, their grammatical form, and word-forming structure. Simultaneously it provides systematic instruction to independent solution of current terminological problems consisting in understanding of the technical content of the terms and in the formation of medical terms. Besides this it opens a view of the wider historical and linguistic fundamentals of medical terminology as well as its general theoretical contexts.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to:
use Latin and Greek-Latin medical terminology and expressions correctly and understand them;
explain and apply grammatical devices and rules relevant for acquisition of Greek-Latin medical terminology;
recognize the syntactic structure of complex terms;
describe the semantic structure of one-word terms;
form compound words applying the most used word-formation principles;
translate selected expressions from anatomy, pre-clinical and clinical fields of study, medical prescriptions, and pharmacology;
guess the meanings of unknown terms on the basis of semantic, grammatical and logical relations.

Assessment methods
Examination (zk) mainly proceeds in the oral form but also includes a shorter written part in the form of a translation of clinical and prescription terms from Czech into Latin. The oral part contains grammatical analysis of selected Latin anatomical and clinical terms, determination and variation of basic grammatical categories, explanation of a technically relevant grammatical phenomenon, and tasks which check knowledge of word formation. The exam may be supplemented with questions from the theory of terminology (historical aspects, contemporary state of development, characteristic features, etc.). A prerequisite for admission to the examination is successful completion of the final written test focused especially on word-formation.
Only one unexcused absence will be tolerated; further absences must be properly excused (i.e. via the Study Department of the Faculty of Medicine).
