4.8. Medical Terminology
Students are required to demonstrate competency in medical terminology and medical abbreviations by passing a Medical Terminology Competency Exam (77% or better) during orientation. Students may re-take the exam within two weeks if they do not pass the first exam. If the student fails to pass the exam a second time, s/he 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 prior to matriculation in the program.
