Medical terminology flashcards, in practice
Recognizing a term in your notes is one thing; remembering its meaning on your own takes practice. MedTerms gives you a simple way to do that, with medical terminology flashcards you can open and use straight away.
Choose a deck and look at a word part like cardi/o. Try to recall its meaning before turning the card over. Start with roots, prefixes, suffixes, or a body system you are studying. The cards are ready, so you can spend your session practicing instead of building a deck.
Flip the card to reveal heart, with cardiology, the study of the heart, as an example. Each card pairs a meaning with a word that uses it. Read them together to connect an unfamiliar word part with something you have seen in class or in your notes.
Choose “Still learning” for a card you want to revisit in Review, or “Got it” when you knew the meaning. Your choices help you keep track of what needs another look. Progress stays on your device, ready when you return for your next session.

Your foundation, in small parts
Start with the building blocks of medical terminology: 207 roots, 64 prefixes, and 76 suffixes. Every card includes a meaning and an example, so you have a place to start even when a word part is new to you.
Browse by word part or body system, then choose a deck related to your current lesson. The three examples here show the format you will find inside the app. Try the first 10 cards in every deck free before choosing the full library.
