Course objectives

The course is complementary to VLLT0222s Basic Medical Terminology II - seminar.
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 required in the examination, exclusively determined by the needs of the discipline and medical practice. First of all, it provides such knowledge of Latin and Greek which enables the student to master quickly and purposefully the semantic aspect of terms, their grammatical form, and word-forming structure. At the same time, 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. Furthermore, 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:

understand and use Latin and Greek-Latin medical terms and expressions correctly

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

deduce the meaning of unknown terms on the basis of semantic, grammatical and logical relations
