Medical/Healthcare Terminology
Students are required to demonstrate competency in medical terminology and medical abbreviations by passing with a minimum grade of 80% on a Healthcare Terminology Competency Exam by the beginning of the Fall semester, Year 1. Students may re-take the exam within a week if a failing grade is obtained. If the exam is not passed on the second try, the student will be required to participate in a remedial program.
Students are expected to study the material for this exam on their own. Appropriate references and self-study texts will be recommended.
Students who provide proof of having taken a course on medical terminology are exempt from this requirement.
