I am applying for a possibly a chair position in either the Fundraising

    Medical terminology is for ALL of healthcare, not just doctors and nurses but billers, coders, medical assistants, front and back office staff. Basically, anyone you see working in a doctors office, clinic, hospital or nursing home have medical terminology as their "language".

The understanding of medical terminology helps in coding and billing to know the highest certainty and specificity of the disease/injury process and treatment associated with it. By knowing and having the ability to code and bill correctly through your knowledge of medical terminology insurance companies will reimburse and the entire office and staff benefit from it.…

Also it makes it easier for medical professions to understand their patients charts and easier to read with abbreviations.…

    I noticed while I was reading through the chapters in the textbook and later completing the reading companion activities I was able to select the right answers for the exercise because I was familiar with the suffixes in the words. I quickly recognized the meaning of the suffix phobia, “fear”, mania, “abnormal preoccupation or obsession” and derma, “skin”. Recognizing the suffix from past words allowed me to make a good confident educated guess. The lesson provided needed clarification on the difference between a suffix and a prefix. The suffix is the word part added to end of the word and it completes a medical term but the prefix is the word part found at the beginning of a medical term.…

Majority of medical workers use prefixes and suffixes to help accumulate a better understanding with the terminology. Excellent communication among all individuals from a medical services group enhances quiet security by diminishing the quantity of…
