While medical terms can be confusing, as many are based on Latin words or have Latin roots, we have tried to make learning medical terminology as easy as possible. We have done this for Alison learners by:

• Breaking courses down into bite-size modules so you are not overwhelmed
• Making courses free - because they don’t cost an arm and a leg, you can enrol in as many as you like
• Allowing you to work at your own pace so you can always keep up
• Including charts, videos and images so you can learn with your eyes, ears and brain
• Having a 24/7/365 schedule - our courses are always available, so you can enrol whenever inspiration strikes!

It may be evident that doctors, nurses, surgeons and paramedics need to be grounded in medical language for their jobs; knowing medical terms is also useful for:

• Criminal lawyers in murder or assault cases
• Therapists dealing with physical abuse
• Police or law enforcement officers dealing with contact crimes
• Novelists or scriptwriters who want accuracy in their works
• Sculptors and painters who use life models
• Teachers of biology
