Learning Medical Terminology can seem like a daunting task at first. It could, in fact, be like learning a whole other language. In reality, memorising all of the words in a medical dictionary may prove to be impossible.
Do not fear! There is a simple way to learn and understand Medical Terminology. Most words are simply a combination of different parts or elements. In this course, you will learn the frequently used roots, prefixes, and suffixes of common medical terminology.

What our students say
I am so privileged to work with All Graduates because not only is it a pathway to be a bridge between the language barriers, but also because of the insightful and interactive webinars and trainings it provides for its interpreters. The training provided has enabled me to learn at least 1 or 2 new traits every time. I am really grateful as it sharpens my knowledge about the industry, for the industry and for my own growth, while satisfying all the parties involved in interpreting.
S PVIC
The lecturers engaged for the webinars are all professionals with great experience in their field, we can grab and use their experience in our daily working life as interpreters. It is nice to know that we are not alone, that we have colleagues having similar experiences than us and use their experience as well to overcome certain issues that could arise in our field of work. Good job Conversations Team!
M DQLD
I was fortunate enough during the rough times of the pandemic, to be able to participate and attend beneficial PD training events that was arranged by All Graduates remotely. These events were catered for the needs of the interpreters, upbringing their professional skills and to be familiar with new technology methods and platforms. I personally gained comprehensive professional skills to enhance my work ethics, know my duties/rights and how to navigate with the remote assignments (Video conference).
N SVIC
All Graduates attaches great importance to the provision of PD activities for its panel of interpreters and translators. I have found the webinars and podcast to be very relevant and useful. These PD activities cover a broad spectrum of topics and issues; and suit practitioners from different cultural backgrounds with different levels of skills and practising in different fields.
