Use Interviewing as a Medical Terminology Class Assignment
What better way to connect your medical terminology student with the real world of healthcare than to include an assignment for them to interview a healthcare professional!
Interviewing a healthcare professional as a medical terminology class assignment is a favorite of mine because I find by interviewing a professional the students:
- develop a greater appreciation for why and how terms are used in healthcare practice.
- learn how various professions within the healthcare field employ different sets of medical terms.
- realize how the use of medical language with other healthcare professionals improves communication, but the same use of medical language with patients can create confusion.
