Drill medical terms with flashcards built from your own notes

Why flashcards work for medical vocabulary

Nursing, pharmacy and allied health courses throw hundreds of new terms at you in a few weeks, and most of them are built from Greek and Latin word parts. A medical terminology flashcard game keeps that vocabulary in front of you in short rounds, so you practice recall instead of rereading the same glossary page.

• Start with the roots and suffixes that appear in your course syllabus.
• Say each definition out loud before flipping the card.
• Keep sessions short and frequent rather than one long cram night.
• Edit generated cards so the wording matches your instructor's definitions.
