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) before matriculation into the program or 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, they will be required to participate in a remedial program.
Students are expected to study the material for this exam on their own. A resource text will be identified to students prior to matriculation into the program.
