for the audio recording is better to have alternative as some issues that the audio disappear or cant work after loading or reloading. Excellent course will recommend more people to join.

Its really useful. I have learn many new abbreviations that I was not aware of. It's nice to have this course done.

Very helpful, self-paced, and easy to understand

your course is really useful for medical staffs

Excellent beginning to my new field of studies

It really helped to improve my medical english

I have a very positive experience in learning.

Great

this was a great beginner course but i was hoping to get more insight on learning what different roots and prefixes of terms were, rather than those being simply provided in the PRN list. but it was comprehensive and simple to follow along.

It was definitely informative, but it would help if the medical dictionary had the words in it that they want you to look up in these lessons. Also several times I would try to look up a word with an asterisk in the PRS list and would be unable to find any part of the word in the list. My mother (who has worked in hospitals several times in her life and is familiar with medical terminology) couldn't find any part of some of those words in the list. It would also be extremely helpful if you could have some way of knowing what you got wrong in a quiz. Several times there would be a problem with several answers that seemed to be the same but with different wording, or there was a question in the beginning asking who the doctor is speaking to (the answer was not immediately clear and the question had nothing to do with medical terminology) and when it was marked wrong you had no way that I could find of discovering why your answer was wrong.

Some of the shorthand used in this course is not relevant in the clinical setting. The videos in week 6 were also cringy in the way the nurses handled the pt and how they carried out the procedures. The way they did things would be flagged immediately in the clinical setting.

Overall though it was a decent learning experience to add to my knowledge of clinical terms, and is a good basic introduction to what you will hear while working in a clinical setting.

the recordings on most of the quizzes and practice quizzes were not working no matter the computer I was on or the browser I was using. Aprt from that I found the course to be very useful and interesting.

A lot less info than I would've thought, and some occasional typos and errors. The PRS list hardly helpful at all.

this is a very superficial course. it was very helpful but it lacked depth and continuity

Feels more like a nursing refresher! I would not be able to answer question if I did not have clinical background. Questions were testing the clinical skills more than terminology.

The common language of the world is English. Physicians can communicate with each other and with allied health personnel in English, which is the common language in all countries of the world. This course allows you to learn about the abbreviations of medical definitions, their order, normal values, abnormal values, names of diseases, medical emergencies and medical interventions while working in a healthcare facility. It seems difficult at first (for non-native English speakers), but after a little bit of progress, it is seen to be completed successfully. A big thank you to Dr Swigart and her team and the University of Pittsburgh who prepared the course.

I love learn a new language. 3 year ago, I used to study medical English, which is call "Specialized English of Medicine", but the teacher has no clinical experience so I just learn vocabularies and translation, it is not attractive and difficult to rote memorization.

I also love clinical environment of healthcare staff in U.S, I hope some day in the future I have a opportunity work or discuss with them about more and more clinical knowledge. Now i can understand more about the terminology and how to work in hospitals in U.S, it's really appreciated.

Best regard to professor Valerie Swigart and professor Michael Gold.
